According to reports, Multani was planning to carry out similar blasts in other parts of the country and conspiring to bring in more explosives from Pakistan to India through the international boundary. Adding to his list of black deeds, it can be mentioned that the mastermind was also behind pushing arms in the Khemkaran area of Punjab's Tarn Taran district in October this year.
The bomb blast on 23rd December took place in a washroom on the second floor of the District Court Complex in Ludhiana at around 12:30 pm.
The counter-terrorism agencies investigating the incident had claimed that it was the former Head Constable of Punjab Police, Gagandeep Singh, who placed the bomb at the court complex and died as it suddenly went off, killing him on the spot.
Gagandeep Singh, a former police head constable, was dismissed from the service for having links with a durg dealer. He was booked under the NDPS act and lodged in jail for two years in this connection in 2019.
The investigating team has also found that Pakistani's ISI was behind the blast and was in touch with Gagandeep Singh. During the probe, cops found the role of SFJ members Harvinder Singh and Jaswinder Singh Multani, who were based in Germany. They were in constant touch with SFJ president Avtar Singh Pannu and Harmeet Singh.
