Delhi Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) have drawn significant parallels between the two incidents, both of which took place near the diplomatic enclave in Chanakyapuri.
The explosion near the Israel Embassy in Delhi Tuesday night has striking similarities with the IED blast in the same locality in 2021. Delhi Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) have drawn significant parallels between the two incidents, both of which took place near the diplomatic enclave in Chanakyapuri.
The blast on Tuesday took place approximately a kilometre from the Israel Embassy and triggered a swift response from various law enforcement agencies. Chanakyapuri, housing numerous embassies, including those of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, is now under heightened security.
The NIA has underscored striking similarities between the recent explosion and the IED blast near the Israel Embassy on January 29, 2021. Both incidents involve suspects meticulously conducting reconnaissance on the locations of CCTV cameras, making their getaway in an auto, and eventually seeking refuge in the Jamia area of the national capital. Despite the identification of suspects in the 2021 case, no arrests have been made thus far.
