GN Bureau/ PTI | May 25, 2011



A low intensity explosion took place outside Delhi high court on Wednesday at around 1: 30 pm.

Initially, reports suggested that the radiator of a car had exploded due to heat.

However, the police later confirmed that a low intensity blast took place in a plastic bag which was placed near the bonnet of a silver Ford Figo car parked in the lawyers’ parking near gate no. 7 of the high court.

A team of forensic experts has collected the samples from the spot.

Delhi Police special commissioner (Law and Order) Dharmendra Kumar told PTI that the blast was caused by a low-intensity explosive in which no one was injured.

"It was not a life-threatening blast... It was a small blast... The explosion took place in a small plastic bag," he said.

"The bag was kept outside the car, just near the bonnet," Kumar said, adding even the car was not damaged by it.
