Israel Embassy Blast: NSG To Give Sealed Sample Report Of Explosion To Delhi Police

The NSG bomb squad will be handing over a sealed report of the blast near the Israel embassy to the Delhi Police. According to police officials, the component of the blast was yet to be ascertained and therefore, they have been waiting for forensic reports to come.

The samples from the leaves and soil from the spot were collected by forensic experts from the National Security Group (NSG) and Delhi Police on Wednesday.

Earlier, the police launched a search operation in the whole area, in which, the people who passed the spot just before the incident, were interrogated. Apart from this, all the taxi and auto drivers who had passed Prithvi Raj Road and Abdul Kalam Road were also interrogated thoroughly.

On Tuesday, Delhi Police received a call that a 'blast' was heard near the Israeli Embassy in the Chanakyapuri diplomatic enclave, but officials said that nothing as such was found at the spot of the incident.

The sound of the blast was heard by the security official standing near the Israeli embassy, which informed an official of the FSL team. Following the blast, Paramilitary forces were deployed outside the Israeli Embassy in Delhi.

Delhi Special Cell, Dog Squad and NIA officials investigated the Israel Embassy. The Delhi police have zeroed in on two 'suspects' after examining the CCTV footage of the area. Officials have however not confirmed the duo's involvement in the same.

Israel's Deputy Ambassador to India, Ohad Nakash Kaynar, confirmed that all the workers and the diplomats at the Israel embassy were safe. "All our workers are safe, and all our diplomats are safe. Our security teams are working in full cooperation with the local Delhi security and they will investigate the matter further," he said.
