Live Grenades found in Golden Temple
A large cache of live hand-grenades was found in the Golden Temple complex on Tuesday when Kar-Sewaks were digging the ground here.
Numbering 114, the grenades, mostly live, were unearthed near the Nanak Niwas building which falls under the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee complex.
The police have cordoned off the area and were investigating whether these grenades were remnants of the 1984 Operation Bluestar or of current origin.
The 1984 Operation Bluestar was launched against Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a preacher turned separatist who ran his terrorist campaign from the confines of the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine of the Sikhs, in Amritsar.
