Chandigarh, Nov 29 (PTI) Police on Friday arrested two persons after a brief encounter from Haryana's Hisar in connection with a crude bomb blast outside two clubs in Chandigarh recently, officials said.
The explosion occurred outside two bar-cum-lounges, one of them owned by rapper Badshah, at Sector 26 in the early hours of Tuesday.
No casualties were reported in the incident. The bombs were lobbed outside 'De'Orra' and 'Seville' owned by Badshah by two unknown persons who came on a bike, police said.
During the probe by multiple agencies, two suspects -- Vinay (20) and Ajit Sehrawat (21) -- from different villages in Hisar district were identified, police said.
On Friday, reliable information was received that both the accused were seen in the Sadar police station area in Hisar, police said.
Acting on the tip-off, a team from Chandigarh Police with the assistance of Haryana Police's Special Task Force (STF) zeroed-in on the accused and asked them to surrender.
However, they opened fire at the police party instead of surrendering, officials said.
The police fired back in self-defence in which both the accused sustained injuries on their legs and were sent to the Civil Hospital in Hisar, they added.
The accused were previously involved in another case, police said.
