An explosion that occurred in Delhi’s Rohini area on Sunday morning is believed to have been caused by low explosives. Initial investigations by the Delhi police indicate that a crude bomb was used to breach the wall of the CRPF School, with the intention seemingly to convey a message rather than inflict substantial damage.
Police sources revealed that the blast, which occurred around 7:30 am, targeted the school wall, emitting a strong chemical odor post-explosion. Despite shattered windows of nearby shops and parked cars, fortunately, no injuries were reported. Investigators have recovered a white powder suspected to be a blend of ammonium nitrate and chloride from the scene.
Authorities from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and NSG are analyzing samples collected at the site to determine the exact nature of the explosive used. Additionally, CCTV footage is being reviewed, and mobile network data is being gathered to identify individuals present in the vicinity during the incident.
Eyewitnesses initially mistook the blast for an LPG cylinder explosion, prompting prompt responses from the police and fire brigade. Residents reported significant damage to glass panes in nearby shops.
The investigation into the incident remains ongoing as authorities continue to piece together details surrounding the explosion and its motive.
