Overview
- Footage shows a Hyundai i20 parked near Sunheri Masjid for about three hours before exiting at 6:48 pm and exploding minutes later at a Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road signal.
- Delhi Police filed a case under UAPA sections 16 and 18 and the Explosive Substances Act based on SI Vinod Nayan’s account, as the NIA moves to take charge of the case.
- Authorities report multiple fatalities and dozens injured, with patients treated at LNJP Hospital and security tightened at key locations in the capital and other cities.
- Investigators are assessing potential links to a module busted across J&K and Faridabad that yielded roughly 2,900 kg of explosives-related material and arrests including doctors, though no direct forensic connection has been confirmed.
- Early suicide-attack suspicions have shifted after limited fragmentation and the absence of shrapnel or a crater suggested an under-developed IED and a non-planned suicide profile.
