Speaking on this matter, Dilbagh said that the two bike-borne persons had placed explosive materials near the tire of the vehicle parked outside his house at night. "Bomb was placed under my car. My car cleaner informed me about it. CCTV footage shows two men putting something under my car at around 2 am. I've worked during militancy and that's why they kept it. FIR has been registered in the matter," the sub-inspector said.
It is to be noted that Dilbagh Singh also received a threat from the Dal Khalsa a few days ago. "Information was received at Police Station Ranjit Avenue that someone had kept an IED in the car of a Sub Inspector. Police recovered the IED and a forensic investigation of the IED is being done. Further probe underway," Manish Chawla, IG Border Range was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
