The national capital is on high alert following a significant bomb explosion near a CRPF school in Rohini’s Prashant Vihar area on Sunday. In response to the blast, teams from the NIA, NSG, CRPF, and Delhi Police quickly arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation. Authorities are exploring a potential Khalistani link, as an online post has claimed responsibility for the incident, which has caused widespread concern throughout the city. Delhi Police has formally requested information from the Telegram app regarding the channel ‘Justice League India,’ which has taken responsibility for the explosion.
The post, featuring a video of the explosion and marked with “Khalistan Zindabad,” has sparked worries about possible ties to separatist groups. Telegram has yet to respond to inquiries regarding the matter.
Despite the force of the explosion, there were no reported injuries as the school was closed on Sunday. The blast caused significant damage to the school’s wall, shattered windows of nearby shops, and affected several parked cars.
Khalistani Connection?
Authorities are investigating a possible connection to pro-Khalistan separatists following a post by Justice League India on social media. The post featured a video of the explosion, included the message “Khalistan Zindabad,” and issued threats of retaliatory attacks against Indian agencies targeting Khalistani supporters.
Authorities are examining a possible connection to pro-Khalistan separatists after a post from Justice League India appeared on social media. The post featured a video of the explosion, included the phrase “Khalistan Zindabad,” and threatened retaliatory actions against Indian agencies that target Khalistani supporters.
“If Indian coward agency and their master think they can hire filthy goons to target our members to silence our voice then they live in fools world. They can’t imagine how close we are to them and how capable we are to strike anytime #KhalistanZindabad #JLI,” the Justice League India said in the post along with the clip.
Following the blast, teams from the National Investigation Agency (NIA), National Security Guard (NSG), CRPF, and Delhi Police arrived at the scene. Forensic experts collected evidence while bomb disposal units searched the area for any additional explosives. A sample of white powder, believed to be ammonium nitrate, was sent for analysis.
Local residents characterized the explosion as “intense,” with vibrations felt hundreds of meters away. Anita Singh, a nearby resident, remarked, “I felt the vibrations in my house. It could have been a disaster if it hadn’t been Sunday.”
Teams from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and the National Security Guard (NSG) examined the site and collected samples. Meanwhile, police registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for “mischief through explosion” and the Explosives Act.
NSG commandos used robots to search the area for any additional explosive materials. Samples of “white powder” and soil collected from the site were sent to the laboratory to determine the bomb’s composition.
“The white powder could be a mixture of ammonium nitrate and chloride,” a senior police officer said.
The officer said the perpetrator “intentionally” selected the spot to not harm the people but to send a message.
