Police in Khanna have launched an investigation after a Kashmir-bound passenger bus traveling from Delhi was targeted with stones in the Ludhiana district, according to reporting by Times of India — Top Stories.
The incident resulted in damage to one of the vehicle's windows, but no passengers were injured during the attack. The vehicle was able to continue its journey after authorities intervened.
Police Investigation and Link to Earlier Incident
Following the stone-pelting, local officers arrived at the scene to assess the damage and begin inquiries into the perpetrators. Investigators are currently exploring potential connections between the Ludhiana attack and a prior event involving the same bus operator, which occurred earlier along the route network in Ambala.
Authorities have not yet released details regarding the identities or motives of the attackers, but the inquiry remains focused on whether the transport service was deliberately singled out.
Passenger Escort and Transit Security
To prevent further disruption and protect those on board, police officers provided a security escort for the bus following the incident. Law enforcement personnel accompanied the vehicle toward its destination, ensuring the safety of all travelers for the remainder of the trip.
Transit security along interstate routes linking Delhi, Punjab, and Jammu and Kashmir remains under scrutiny as investigators work to determine whether additional security measures will be necessary for commercial operators traveling through the region.
