GURUGRAM:

Police are probing whether the attack was precipitated by an extortion attempt by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

The arrested accused was identified as Sachin (goes by one name), originally from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. Officers said Sachin has been booked at the DLF police station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act, as well as under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

The attack occurred at around 5.15am, and officers said that the incendiary devices were very rudimentary - the low-intensity blasts only damaged a two-wheeler and a signboard outside the establishment named Human Night Club, and no casualties were reported in the incident.
