Two people have died in a blast inside a court complex in Ludhiana in Punjab. Four people have also been reported to have suffered serious injuries in the explosion.

Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi in a tweet wrote, Saddened over the news of blast at Ludhiana court complex. I’m reaching the blast site shortly and I assure the people of the state that the guilty would not be spared. Anybody trying to disturb the peace and harmony of the state, will be taken to task

Police have cordoned off the area and fire tenders are on the spot. The blast reportedly took place in the washroom on third floor at a time when the district court was functioning. Sources said that it seems to be a “powerful blast” as walls of the washroom have been damaged and window panes smashed.

Former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh tweeted, Disturbing news of a blast at Ludhiana court complex. Saddened to know about the demise of 2 individuals, Praying for the recovery of those injured. @PunjabPoliceInd must get to the bottom of this.

We cannot comment on anything. Only the experts can tell the kind of explosives used, but the district, state, and  central forensics are on it. Every crowded place is on alert, the public should also be careful,  Punjab DGP Siddharth Chattopadhyaya was quoted as saying by ANI
