Delhi Bomb Blast: Is There A Khalistan Link?

A loud explosion in New Delhi’s Prashant Vihar area near Rohini on Sunday morning shocked many

Although no injuries were reported, several vehicles and properties suffered damages

Delhi Police, who are probing the bomb blast along with other agencies, allege the involvement of pro-Khalistan groups

A loud explosion occurred at around 7.30 am on October 20 near the CRPF school in New Delhi’s Prashant Vihar

The sound of the explosion was heard from several hundred meters away

A call was received at the police control room at 7.47 am, regarding the blast, prompting action by multiple security agencies and the police

Videos from the spot showed thick plumes rising from the blast site

While no injuries were reported, nearby vehicles, shops, and structures were damaged

Notably, this incident follows a wave of bomb threats directed at Indian airlines last week

Experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and NSG collected samples from the site for analysis to determine the exact chemicals used

NSG officials found a battery and wire near the blast spot and are investigating whether these items were placed before the explosion

According to Money control sources, CCTV footage has revealed a suspect wearing a white T-shirt at the scene the night before the blast

An eyewitness at the scene told ANI, “We were sitting at home, then we heard a loud blast, at first, we did not understand what happened, thinking that a cylinder had burst. We then ran down and saw that there was a lot of yellow smoke everywhere, so we called the police"
