Around 1 am in the morning on Saturday, a rocket-propelled grenade was launched at a police station in Tarn Taran, Punjab. The rocket rebounded after striking the police station's outside pillar, causing no casualties and damage to the structure.
Harvinder Singh aka Rinda, a prominent mobster who was recently believed to have passed away in Pakistan, hails from Sarhali.
The sources claim that despite the rocket's strength, the station was unaffected as it returned. At the police station are forensic teams and DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav.
Terrorists with support from Khalistan are thought to have orchestrated the attack with the help of Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency. The attack was probably an ISI retaliation to Harvinder Singh Rinda's passing in order to maintain his fear in the area. Harvinder Singh Rinda, a gangster-turned-Khalistani terrorist, was reportedly shot in Pakistan. Davinder Bambiha, a gangster organisation, took responsibility for the killing.

The RPG attack on the Punjab Police intelligence office in Mohali in May has just been linked to Rinda. In the murder of Punjabi artist Sidhu Moose Wala, his name also surfaced. Rinda was a part of the outlawed Khalistani group Babbar Khalsa International and was implicated in numerous terror cases.
Sources in the state police, however, assert that Harwinder Singh Rinda passed away after being hospitalised in Lahore for 15 days for kidney failure.
In the meantime, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, a BJP politician, attacked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), saying the group was responsible for fomenting instability in Punjab.
