According to initial information, the petrol bomb was thrown at the party office during the night. The exact extent of the damage has not yet been officially disclosed, and authorities are still assessing the impact of the attack.
Police officers are overseeing the investigation and teams have started watching surveillance footage from CCTV cameras installed around the BJP office and the surrounding location. Some think the footage can help to establish the sequence of events, find suspects, and determine how to enter and exit the area.
Investigators will also question residents, security personnel, and shop owners to get more information. Police do not yet know whether any suspects were involved or whether there was a motive for the incident.
As a result, political offices and public institutions in the region are in danger, and security measures are likely to be enhanced as the investigation continues.
Police have asked people to cooperate with the investigation and share any information that could help in identifying those involved. The motive behind the incident and the reason for it will become clear with time, and the investigation will be done in an unbiased manner, the police said.
The CCTV footage will play an essential role in the investigation, as investigators will try to reconstruct the moment of the attack as well as determine if more than one person was involved.
Officials have said legal action will be taken against those responsible. Details of the investigation will be disclosed once police have completed their preliminary investigation and have the relevant evidence.
The investigation into the petrol bomb attack is still ongoing, and more details will be disclosed during the investigation, authorities said.
