The blast occurred on Heritage Street on the way to the Golden Temple, around the same place where a blast had taken place on Saturday. No one was injured. The incident happened at around 6.30 am. Police and forensic teams have reached the spot and are taking samples. On Saturday night, a mysterious blast in the area had left six people, including tourists, injured and led to a panic situation. The forensic examination report of that is yet to arrive. Police Commissioner Naunihal Singh said they could ascertain anything only after the FSL team's investigation. DGP Gaurav Yadav visited the spot and denied “any terrorist angle in the blasts, adding that it was a low-intensity explosive in a container”. Yadav said: “No detonator was used in both blasts.” He said it was the handiwork of some miscreants apparently to create panic. He said investigations are in progress to identify the suspects and the motive behind it.
