Shambu, April 28: Security agencies are investigating a fatal explosion on the Shambhu-Ambala road that resulted in the death of a Tarn Taran man and damage to vital railway infrastructure. The blast, which took place on Monday night, caused a sensation in the region after officials discovered a partial human torso near the damaged tracks.
Initial police findings suggest that the deceased, identified as Jagroop Singh, may have been handling the explosives when they detonated. Patiala SSP Varun Sharma affirmed that the torso found at the site likely belonged to the person who carried out the act. Officials stated that while the explosion caused significant trauma to the body, a mobile phone found at the scene survived the impact and served as a key piece of evidence for identification.
“The accused are being actively searched,” SSP Varun Sharma declared, as police look into the possibility of a wider conspiracy. The Railway Police have invoked the Explosives Act and the Railway Act in their ongoing probe. A forensic team took samples from the crater and surrounding area to determine the nature of the materials used in the device.
The Railway Department moved quickly to minimize disruption to commuters, completing repairs to the broken iron channels by early Tuesday morning. Officials declared the tracks safe for travel at approximately 7:55 a.m. following a thorough inspection. Local authorities maintained that the investigation is now focused on tracing the deceased’s recent contacts to determine the motive behind the incident.
