Overview
- The Forensic Science Laboratory detected TATP in the blast‑hit i20 and investigators found a TATP–ammonium nitrate mix in material tied to the Faridabad module.
- Agencies say the car may have exploded unintentionally due to TATP’s extreme sensitivity to heat, friction or shock.
- Jammu and Kashmir Police said the Nowgam Police Station blast was accidental during handling of seized ammonium nitrate, leaving nine dead.
- Officials link the seized cache to an alleged Jaish‑e‑Mohammed cell in Faridabad that had sensitised ammonium nitrate with fuel, indicating advanced preparations for an IED.
- Multi‑state raids and detentions continue, including a man held in Haryana over unlicensed fertiliser sales as investigators map procurement and storage chains.
