The Delhi Police has taken swift action, filing an FIR against unidentified individuals following Tuesday's low-intensity blast near the Israel embassy in the national capital. The case falls under Section 3 of the Explosive Substances Act, reflecting the severity of causing an explosion endangering life or property.
Forensic experts found over two dozen pellets, indicating the nature of the blast, likely stemming from a crude bomb. A discovered letter with abusive content, containing phrases like "Sir Allah Resistance," hints at a possible claim of responsibility by an organization related to the explosion.
In response, security around the Chabad House in Paharganj, housing a significant Israeli community, has been bolstered.
The incident on Tuesday triggered a swift security response, prompted by an emergency call reporting an 'explosion' near the Israel Embassy in Chanakyapuri. The police dispatched specialized units, including dog squads and the bomb disposal team, to investigate the sound resembling an explosion.
The forensic team meticulously collected potential evidence, which is now undergoing forensic analysis. The Israel Embassy confirmed the incident and the safety of its personnel, expressing cooperation with local security forces in the investigation.
This recent event echoes a prior incident in January 2021, where a minor explosion near the Israel Embassy caused damage to vehicles. Additionally, in February 2012, a bomb placed beneath an Israel Embassy vehicle resulted in injuries to a diplomat's wife, emphasizing the sensitivity and history of security concerns surrounding the Embassy.
