Prashant Vihar Blast: It has hardly been two months since the blast outside the CRPF school in Prashant Vihar, Delhi, that the news of another blast in the same area came to light this morning, i.e., on 28 November. A blast so loud in front of Bansi Sweets in Prashant Vihar at around 11:48 am took place that even the people around were shocked, and everyone came out of their houses.
An eyewitness, according to jagran.com, said that the blast was very loud all of a sudden. The main eyewitness of the incident, Krishna Kumar Gupta, said that 'It is my daily routine to come to the park at 11.30 am. As soon as I reached the gate, there was a sudden blast...'
When Krishna Kumar was asked how loud the blast was, he said that it was very loud. Some are saying that the tyre has burst... some are saying that a bomb has exploded. However, he could not tell what caused the blast. He told that a car driver was standing here; he checked his car and turned it from there.'
When asked if anything happened to the driver of the car, Krishna Kumar said, 'No, nothing happened to the car driver, a tempo driver got hurt. On being asked about the smoke, he said that there was a lot of smoke and a lot of dust flew...' When he was asked if this blast was like the one that happened near the CRPF school last month, he said, 'It must have been nineteen times bigger than that... but this was also very strong. The glass panes of the cars broke there, but nothing like that happened here.'
He further told, 'Some hawkers were also standing here; nothing happened to them either. This blast happened right next to the gate of the park.'
On the other hand, another eyewitness, Balwant Jain, told that 'Yes, I also saw it. There was a loud sound, we were in the park, we came out... and no one got hurt.'
The third eyewitness, Bhim Sen Jain, said that 'When the blast happened, we were talking while sitting on a bench in the park. Someone said that the tyre burst, so we said that such a loud sound does not occur.'
He further said that the blast was loud, and first black smoke came out and then white smoke came out, which went very high. There was no one where the blast happened. There were only hawkers around, and everyone else was in the park.

Bhim Sen further said that when the smoke ended, people reached there and said that the battery of the car burst, so we said that there was no damage to the car, so how can the battery explode?
When Bhim Sen was asked the same question about in which thing the blast happened, he said that this is what he does not know. The blast happened on the road itself. Someone is saying in a car, someone is saying in a tempo, but both things are correct, so it is not known where the blast happened.
