Second Blast in Two Months Rocks Delhi's Prashant Vihar, One Injured

Authorities investigate similarities between two low-intensity explosions in the same area, raising security concerns in the capital.

A low-intensity explosion occurred near a sweet shop in Prashant Vihar, northwest Delhi, injuring a 25-year-old man and damaging a parked three-wheeler.
This marks the second blast in the area within 40 days, following an October explosion near a CRPF school that caused property damage but no injuries.
Investigators found traces of hydrogen peroxide and a detonation cord called Cordtex at both sites, suggesting similarities in the materials used.
Delhi Police, along with forensic teams, the National Security Guard, and the National Investigation Agency, are probing the incidents but have not identified suspects yet.
The blasts have sparked political tensions, with Delhi Chief Minister Atishi criticizing the central government for alleged law-and-order failures, while the BJP has dismissed these claims as political opportunism.
