Amritsar: At least 3 people were killed and several others injured when unknown bike-borne assailants threw a bomb at a congregation of devotees at Nirankari Bhawan in Amritsar’s Rajasansi village on Sunday, reports said.

IG (Border) Surinder Pal Singh Parmar has confirmed three deaths in the explosion. He said injured people have been admitted to a local hospital.

On November 16, the Punjab Police released posters of Zakir Moosa, the chief of Jammu and Kashmir based Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind terror outfit with reported links to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), after he was reportedly spotted in Amritsar.

The intelligence agencies also issued a letter stating that seven members of the terror outfit JeM were believed to be sighted in Ferozepur district of the state.
