On Sunday, a loud explosion happened near a CRPF school in New Delhi’s Rohini, prompting numerous security and police authorities, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA), to take action. Several stores and structures near the blast site were damaged. However, no casualties or injuries have been reported thus far.
Images from the scene showed plumes of smoke rising near the school in the Prashant Vihar neighborhood. Another video shows a loud explosion. Visuals from the scene revealed that the explosion also smashed the windows of vehicles parked nearby.
Police discovered a white powder-like substance near the school’s wall and have cordoned off the entire area. A team of NIA officials arrived at the scene to investigate whether there were any terrorist linkages behind the strange detonation. Commandos from the National Security Guard (NSG) arrived at the scene of the explosion. Furthermore, strong police have been positioned near the school, and sniffer dogs are being utilized to locate evidence.
Social media platforms, including Telegram, are being analyzed for evidence about the bomb. Terrorists are known to use such forums to communicate before committing terrorist acts. A team from the Forensic Science Laboratory also visited the site and collected materials to determine how the bomb was carried out.
There are various stores near the school’s wall, and the loud sound could be the result of a cylinder blow, according to sources. The actual cause of the explosion has yet to be determined, however no injuries have been recorded.
India Today obtained several videos showing the level of damage caused to shops near the school as a result of the explosion. Following the explosion, videos show shop hoardings scattered across the street. “We can only conceive of two possibilities: a cylinder blast or a building collapse.
