A major security scare unfolded in Jalandhar late last night as a powerful explosion occurred outside the residence of senior BJP leader and former Punjab minister Manoranjan Kalia.

The house is located just 100 meters from the local police station, raising concerns over law and order. The blast shattered window panes, damaged parked vehicles, and left the local community in shock. Fortunately, no casualties were reported, though Kalia’s family and security guard were present at the time. The Punjab police’s forensic team is currently investigating the incident. In recent months, Punjab has seen a rise in similar attacks targeting officials and police facilities, and this latest act has further heightened tensions. Police are working to identify the attacker and determine the motive.
