Overview
- Samples from the blast site are with forensic labs to confirm whether ammonium nitrate or ANFO was the primary explosive, with residue recovery complicated by firefighting washdown.
- Authorities recently seized nearly 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate and other bomb‑making materials in Faridabad and arrested suspects linked to Al Falah Medical College.
- Experts assessing the Delhi explosion say the car likely carried about 60–70 kg of ammonium nitrate and may have used an ANFO mixture initiated by a detonator.
- Investigators are probing a possible operational link between the Red Fort attack and the Faridabad cache, with the NIA coordinating a widening multi‑state inquiry.
- Despite licensing, PESO oversight and SETT tracking under the 2012 Ammonium Nitrate Rules, police and experts say diversion through small consignments and lax enforcement persists.
