Delhi school blast: Police investigate possible Khalistani links after Telegram threat

Delhi cops probe Khalistani link in mysterious blast near CRPF school

The Delhi Police have launched an investigation into a potential Khalistani connection following a blast that shook the walls of a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) school in Rohini on Sunday morning. This comes after a threatening post on Telegram went viral, claiming responsibility for the attack.

The explosion, which occurred between 7:35 and 7:40 AM, sent shockwaves across the national capital. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the incident has raised alarm among local residents. Witnesses described hearing a loud bang followed by a foul smell that permeated the area, with vibrations felt throughout nearby homes.

Delhi Police officials have reached out to Telegram to gather information about a pro-Khalistani channel named “Justice League India,” which claimed responsibility for the blast in a video that surfaced shortly after the explosion. This video featured a watermark reading “Khalistan Zindabad” and included messages threatening further action in retaliation for alleged targeting of pro-Khalistani separatists by Indian agents.

The video quickly circulated on various Telegram channels, particularly those operating from Pakistan, which is known for disseminating information related to terrorist activities in Kashmir. The rapid spread of the video has heightened concerns about the implications of the attack and its possible links to broader separatist movements.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) likely activated by remote control or a timer. The device, which reportedly contained no lethal shrapnel, appears to have been placed late Saturday night.

Further analysis by Central agencies has uncovered traces of low explosives at the blast site, including a powder-like substance, wires, and a battery. National Security Guard (NSG) officials are examining these components to determine their role in the incident.

As the investigation continues, authorities are working diligently to assess the threat level and to prevent any future occurrences. The situation remains under close scrutiny, as the implications of the blast extend beyond immediate safety concerns to questions about national security and separatist activities within the region.
