In response to a recent explosion near a CRPF school in Rohini, New Delhi, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has vowed that those responsible will face justice. A multi-agency investigation involving the Delhi Police, NIA, and NSG is underway to scrutinize every detail of the blast.

The explosion occurred early Sunday morning, causing damage to vehicles and property but resulting in no injuries. Initial findings uncovered traces of low explosives at the site, raising suspicions of a potential terror-related act, although a conclusive motive has yet to be determined.

Authorities are actively determining if the blast was deliberate and what message, if any, was intended. Given the involvement of potentially crude bombs, the investigation is being treated with the utmost gravity. Delhi Police has filed an FIR and stringent security has been enacted across the city, especially with the Diwali festival around the corner.
