Gurugram: A 29-year-old man was arrested for allegedly hurling crude bombs near a club in Sector 29 market on Tuesday morning, police said.
The accused, Sachin, a resident of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, is suspected to be linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, an officer said.
The explosions damaged a signboard and a scooter parked in the area. However, no casualties were reported, the officer added.
“The accused was under the influence of drugs. By the time we arrived at the spot, he had already thrown a couple of bombs, which led to the blasts,” said Varun Dahiya, assistant commissioner of police (crime).
He added that the officers on routine duty in the area detained the accused before he could throw two more bombs.
Along with the bombs, police also recovered a country-made weapon.
“The attack is suspected to be linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which had recently issued extortion threats targeting clubs in the area,” Dahiya said.
