Pathankot: A grenade blast occurred near the gate of the Army cantonment here following which an alert has been sounded in the border district, police said on Monday.
No casualty was reported in the blast that took place on Sunday night, they said.
Some unidentified persons on a motorcycle hurled the grenade in front of the Triveni Dwar of the military area near Dheerapul here, police said, adding they were verifying CCTV footage of the area. “The CCTV footage is being analyzed,” Pathankot Senior Superintendent of Police Surendra Lamba told PTI.
Some parts of the hand grenade have been recovered from the site and a forensic team has collected samples, the SSP said.
