Earlier, before the Republic Day, the police had received fake information about a bomb being planted in the District Court of Sector 43. A letter informing about the bomb was found at Chandigarh’s District Court, Sector 43 Bus Stand and Panchkula Court. It was said that this bomb is in a car, which will explode at 1 o’clock. A heavy police force had reached the spot. The entire complex at the Chandigarh district court was vacated and sealed.

Bomb shell was found away from Maan’s Kothi
Earlier this month, the Army had accompanied its unit to defuse a bomb shell found in a mango orchard at Rajindra Park, Sector 2, near CM Helipad in Chandigarh. The bomb shell was robotically examined. Earlier it was decided that it would be defused here. Later, the army officers changed the decision citing technical reasons and safely left for Chandimandir with the bomb in a gypsy.
Panic spread last year as well
Let us inform that earlier in April last year, RDX was found near the wall of Chandigarh Burail Jail. This raised questions on the security of the jail. Army’s bomb disposal team was first called from Chandimandir to defuse this RDX. And after that the NSG team from Manesar reached the next day. After a long time it was defused with the help of a robot. This mobile phone and another detonator were found on April 28 on a thorough investigation. On April 23, police found tiffins, detonators and burning codex wire near the jail wall.
