Blasts outside two Chandigarh clubs, one owned by rapper Badshah | India News – Times of India

CHANDIGARH: Low-intensity blasts Tuesday outside two nightclubs in Chandigarh, one of them owned by singer-rapper Badshah, spawned conspiracy theories before gangster Lawrence Bishnoi‘s associate Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for both.
Police found CCTV footage showing one among two suspects on a motorcycle hurling the bombs at 3.14am. Barring a shattered glass door at the entrance to one of the clubs, no damage was caused by either of the blasts.
Investigators said the attack, coming a week ahead of PM Modi’s scheduled visit to Chandigarh, was possibly meant to be a warning or a threat to the owners of both clubs – De Orra and Seville. Badshah owns the first one.

Online post says ‘Goldy Brar’ and Bishnoi aide behind blasts
Sector 26 police station is located barely 100 metres from the scene of twin explosions. A Central Forensic Science Laboratory team collected samples from the site. Chandigarh Police mentioned in a statement strips of jute were scattered where bombs landed. Hours later, a Facebook post from an account in the name of “Goldy Brar” said he and Rohit Godara of Bishnoi gang masterminded the blasts because owners of the clubs hadn’t paid “protection money”. The post mentioned the owners didn’t heed repeated reminders, the consequences of which would be more such attacks.
Police sources said footage from one CCTV camera shows the assailants speeding away towards Mohali after hurling the bombs. This is the second such explosion in the city in three months. On Sept 11, two suspects hurled a grenade at a house in Sector 10. Nobody was injured. Police arrested the autorickshaw driver who had allegedly ferried the duo to the area from ISBT-43 the same day.
