Police deny gangster’s claim of rocket attack on Qila Lal Singh police station

Chandigarh: Gangster Happy Pasiya, who is reportedly based abroad, has claimed in a social media post that the Qila Lal Singh police station was attacked with a rocket launcher early Monday morning. However, senior police officials have dismissed the claim.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Suhail Qasim Mir said he received a call around 3 am about the alleged attack.

“I immediately sent a team led by a DSP-rank officer to investigate the incident. However, the team informed me that nothing of that sort had happened. Later, we launched a massive operation, but still did not find anything. We have lodged an FIR at the police station as a precautionary measure,” he said.

“During the night, some people spread a rumour that something untoward had happened. However, nothing came to light during the extensive investigation,” the officer added.
