At least three people died and 10 others injured in a blast at Nirankari Bhawan in Amritsar's Rajasansi village, Inspector General (Border) Surinder Pal Singh Parmar said.

Two men on a motorcycle, their faces covered, reportedly threw a grenade near the Nirankari Bhawan, where a religious ceremony was on at the time, NDTV reported.

"My condolences are with families of those who lost lives in this incident. It is an attempt to disturb peace in Punjab.

"I believe all the security agencies should stay alert and coordinate with each other to maintain peace," Punjab Congress Chief Sunil Jakhar said.

 

More details awaited.
