No explosives found at site of blast near Israel embassy, say Delhi police; scans of CCTV, mobile data ongoing

The Delhi police have scanned CCTV cameras and investigated the “end-to-end encrypted calls” of all active mobile numbers around the capital’s Prithviraj Road as part of their probe into the low-intensity blast that took place near the Israeli Embassy on Tuesday evening. However, they have not been able to establish the source of explosive nor recovered any explosive material from the garden space where the blast occurred, the police said on Wednesday.

A guard at the Central Hindi Training Institute, adjacent to the Embassy, reportedly heard a loud noise at the location on Tuesday evening. As dog squads and crime teams continued to quarter the area, Delhi police officers said that their probe has intensified after two people were seen on the CCTV footage, roaming around the area before the blast. However, they have not been identified and it has not yet been ascertained if they are suspects, an officer said.
