In a recent development following the blast outside the Israel Embassy in Delhi on Tuesday, forensic experts have discovered over two dozen pellets at the site, shedding light on the nature of the explosion. Official sources have revealed that it was a low-intensity blast involving a crude bomb.
A senior official from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) stated that during a thorough search of the area, multiple pieces of pellets were found scattered around, suggesting a low-intensity blast, likely caused by a crude bomb. The FSL is meticulously analyzing every exhibit collected from the site.
Central agencies, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA), visited the spot on Wednesday morning and collected samples of soil, leaves, and objects for further examination. A letter retrieved from the site on Tuesday was found to be abusive in nature, with typed words such as 'Sir Allah Resistance,' indicating that the organization may be claiming responsibility for the attack.
After scrutinizing multiple CCTV footage, the police have narrowed down their focus on two individuals suspected of approaching the area just before the explosion on Tuesday. The letter and CCTV footage are crucial elements in the ongoing investigation.
Security agencies were alerted on Tuesday after an emergency call reporting an 'explosion' near the Israel Embassy in Chanakyapuri. The Delhi Police dispatched a fire tender immediately. The police response included a dog squad, crime team, and the bomb disposal squad, given the sensitivity of the site and the reported sound resembling an explosion.
The investigation is ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible for the blast, with the involvement of central agencies and heightened security measures around the Israel Embassy in Delhi.
