Sikh ultras-Jehadi link under scanner

Investigators were today probing whether the "high intensity" theatre blast that left six dead was a joint effort by Sikh militants and Jehadi groups, and did not rule out the use of deadly RDX, even as 12 persons were detained by police for questioning.

On the political front, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal dismissed suggestions that a bomb blast in Punjab after a gap of several years signalled the revival of militancy in the border state.

"People of Punjab have no sympathy with terrorists as they would not allow the hard earned peace to go," he said.
