Delhi, India – In a shocking turn of events, the Delhi Police have indicated that a pro-Khalistani group may be linked to the recent blast in the Rohini area of Delhi. The explosion, which occurred near a CRPF school in Prashant Vihar, has raised serious security concerns in the capital.* On Sunday morning, residents reported hearing a loud explosion that prompted immediate action from police and the bomb squad, who quickly arrived on the scene alongside the fire brigade. Initial investigations revealed the presence of crude explosives, including potassium chlorate and hydrogen peroxide, as well as electrical wiring at the blast site.
According to reports from the Indian Express, the Delhi Police have uncovered a video related to the incident that was shared on a Telegram channel called “Justice League India.” This footage, which includes CCTV images of the blast, has spurred the police to reach out to Telegram for more information regarding this channel. Rohini’s Deputy Commissioner of Police, Amit Goyal, commented on the ongoing investigation, stating, “It is difficult to say anything at this stage… Investigation is on.” The police have yet to officially name any organization connected to the blast.
However, they have stated that they are exploring all avenues, including gathering data from various social media platforms. Reports suggest that Telegram has not yet responded to the Delhi Police's request for information. The blast's impact was severe enough to create a shockwave that caused extensive damage to nearby buildings and vehicles. Investigators noted that the explosive materials were positioned to maximize damage, generating a high-pressure gas that spread rapidly, resulting in shattered windows and heightened fears in the vicinity, especially among the students and staff of the CRPF school.
As the investigation unfolds, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is preparing to take over the case from the Delhi Police to conduct a more comprehensive inquiry into the incident and its potential links to extremist groups. As the community grapples with the aftermath of this alarming event, authorities continue to emphasize the importance of vigilance and cooperation in ensuring safety and security across the city. Further updates are anticipated as the investigation progresses.
