Security forces had received intelligence inputs before attack
Hours before the incident, security forces had reportedly received intelligence inputs about suspicious activities in the area. However, the exact target of the suspected attack was not known at the time.

Following the incident, reports suggest that dozens of people have been detained for questioning as part of the investigation.
