Sources privy to the investigation said the report has been sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs. However, no information about the components was further revealed. A crude bomb is a less sophisticated IED used for low-intensity blasts.
Sources in the Central Intelligence Agencies said they, however, suspect that it might be a timer or remote-controlled assembled bomb. The NSG has a dedicated forensic lab to examine the components and chemicals used in the blast.
The National Investigation Agency probing the 2021 blast case has been unable to make any breakthrough so far. In February 2012, when a diplomat was targeted in Chanakyapuri, similar attempts were made on an Israel embassy staff member in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and another in Bangkok. In all these cases, the suspects were of Iranian origin. ET recalls the case details of the three attacks in Delhi.
Police tracked the auto driver, who told them the man had approached him while he was waiting outside Jamia Nagar Metro station, and he struck a deal for Rs 150.
