A blast outside the CRPF Public School in Delhi's Rohini area was reportedly designed to generate shockwaves, with the explosion being heard up to two kilometers away, sources revealed. The explosives were strategically positioned to maximize the impact of the shockwaves, shattering windows of nearby buildings and vehicles.
Authorities investigating the incident noted a foul odor at the site, along with remnants of crude bomb materials. The explosion damaged part of the school's wall and shattered window panes on the premises.
Delhi Police PRO Sanjay Tyagi shared that a call was received about the loud blast near the school early in the morning. Responding officers and experts from the Forensic Department, Crime Team, and Special Cell arrived at the scene to begin their investigation. "It's too early to draw conclusions about the cause until the investigation is complete," he stated.
Forensic experts, according to sources from the Forensic Science Laboratory, indicated that the material used in the blast resembled that of a crude bomb. In cases like this, explosives—whether solid or liquid—are converted into high-pressure gas that expands rapidly, creating shockwaves due to reflective pressure.
