Chandigarh, June 2: A 24-year-old computer engineer, Rajatvir Singh, was “found dead” at his house in Darshan Nagar of Patiala on Thursday, and the police talk of terror link claimed he was a bomb-maker who killed himself due to fear of cops who were conducting a raid. Police also claimed to have found a “pressure cooker bomb” and a “pipe bomb” and other explosive material from the house.
But the theory, as presented by deputy inspector general (DIG) Sukhchain Singh Gill, left many questions unanswered.
The DIG said that on a tip-off the police had set up a check-post on the Patiala-Rajpura road near Faloli village at which two cars — a Maruti Suzuki Ritz hatchback, and a Mahindra Scorpio SUV — were signalled to stop on Wednesday night. “Rajatvir, who was driving the Scorpio, escaped while injuring a constable. We arrested the Ritz driver, identified as his father Harpreet Singh, a retired government employee,” Gill said.
