Overview
- Laboratory findings indicate the improvised device combined triacetone triperoxide (TATP) with ammonium nitrate.
- Initial analysis estimates at least 30–40 kg of ammonium nitrate was loaded into the Hyundai i20 that exploded.
- Police are examining whether the blast is connected to a Faridabad module where roughly 358 kg of ammonium nitrate and other materials were seized.
- Delhi Police plan meetings with chemical associations and registered vendors to tighten monitoring of sales and stock audits, including checks in Old Delhi’s Tilak Bazar.
- Investigators are assessing both an accidental detonation scenario—given TATP’s extreme volatility—and the possibility of a planned attack.
