Was it a Blast?
After the inquiry, a security guard said that the loud sound came from the rear tyre of a DTC bus heading towards Dhaula Kuan, which had burst. The situation now appears normal. However, the police have yet to issue an official confirmation on this.
Delhi Blast and the recovery of arms, ammunition, and chemical substances
The panic over the tyre burst came amid ongoing tension following the deadly blast near the Red Fort on November 10. In the days surrounding the incident, the NIA and police carried out several raids across the country, detaining a few individuals and seizing large quantities of ammonium nitrate from suspects across Gujarat, Hyderabad, Maharashtra, Faridabad in Haryana, and Jammu and Kashmir. Investigations are still underway, with early findings suggesting possible links to the Delhi explosion that killed at least 10 people and injured several others. There are also reports indicating a possible plan to target multiple locations.
Current Status of Delhi Blast Case
Investigating officers now link Dr Umar Nabi Bhat to a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) logistics module operating between Faridabad, Lucknow, and South Kashmir. His DNA, which was recovered from the exploded car matched with his mother’s and brother’s DNA. His group allegedly included nine to ten members, among them five to six doctors, who used their medical credentials to procure chemicals and explosive materials.
