 Two low-intensity explosions occurred outside De'Orra and Seville. Seville is reportedly owned by the rapper. The explosions shattered De'Orra's glass windows. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.

In CCTV footage, an unidentified person was seen throwing something towards the lounge and thereafter a cloud of smoke emerged. Sources said two suspects came on a motorcycle.

Police said that they received a call about a "loud sound" from the area around 3:25 am. Upon investigation, a police team found pieces of jute rope at the scene. Samples were later collected by a team from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory, according to the police.

Chandigarh Deputy Superintendent of Police Dilbag Singh Dhaliwal told reporters an investigating officer who responded to the call found broken glasses at the scene. An FIR has been lodged and an investigation was underway. 

Puran, a worker at one of the clubs, said though the joint was closed, there were seven to eight workers inside at the time of the incident. He said they heard a loud sound around 3.15 am and rushed outside. They found broken glass, but did not spot anyone, he added.
