CHANDIGARH: Two explosions occurred outside of two clubs in Chandigarh, and the police believe this was an attempt at extortion.
Officials say the explosion happened outside the Seville Bar and Lounge, which is owned by rapper and artist Badshah, and the De Orra Club in Sector 26. Images from the scene revealed that the clubs' glass panes were shattered by the explosions.
At around 3.15 in the morning, two unidentified people riding a motorbike are said to have set up an explosive device close to the club's entrance, causing the first explosion outside of Seville.
But a few minutes later, there was a similar explosion outside the De'Orra Club, which likewise broke the glass windows.
A man is seen on CCTV hurling what appear to be crude bombs at the clubs before fleeing. The incident did not result in any injuries.
According to reports, the Chandigarh police and the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) arrived at the location after receiving the information.
The extortion angle is being looked into by the authorities, although there may have also been a confrontation between the two clubs' partners.
Badshah co-owns Sago Spicy Symphony and Sidera, two other restaurants, and inaugurated the Seville location in December of last year. The rapper, who is 39 years old, sings in Punjabi, Haryanvi, Hindi, and English. 'Kapoor and Sons' and 'Crew' are two Bollywood films for which he has voiced songs.
