Two persons have been arrested in connection with a blast at BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia’s residence in Jalandhar, said a senior police officer on Tuesday. An e-rickshaw used in the crime has also been recovered, said Special Director General of Police (law and order) Arpit Shukla while addressing the media here.

Shukla said police cracked the case within 12 hours of the incident. He said Pakistan’s spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had hatched a conspiracy to create communal tension in Punjab and police have foiled it by taking immediate action in the matter.
