A new security threat has surfaced in election-bound Punjab in the form of tiffin bombs. In the last two months, five such tiffin bombs have been recovered in different parts of Punjab.
As per police sources, a major mishap has been averted due to quick action by the Punjab police based on specific intelligence information on Thursday. Punjab Police claimed to have arrested a terror module supported by Khalistan Tiger Force.
Three people were arrested with a tiffin bomb from Bhikwind village of Tarn Taran district, which is located nearly 10 Km from the India-Pakistan borders. The cops also retrieved a consignment of arms and explosives including two pistols, one grenade, and a packet containing explosives near Chungan village, all of which were dropped using a drone.
A tiffin bomb is a lunchbox fitted with an improvised explosive device (IED). It is a tiffin carrier which is used by school children and to store their lunch.
