Delhi Blast: Terror Suspicions Grow as Vehicle Ownership Puzzle Emerges
The recent blast in Delhi has escalated into a high-terror alert after investigators uncovered a tangled web of vehicle ownerships, pointing to a possible planned attack. Initially dismissed as a gas cylinder explosion, forensic evidence and witness testimonies have shifted the focus to deliberate sabotage, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) taking charge.
Key Details of the Delhi Blast
The explosion ripped through a crowded market in Central Delhi on Tuesday evening, injuring 12 and causing extensive damage. Eyewitnesses described a deafening noise followed by thick smoke, triggering mass panic. The choice of location—a high-traffic zone—and the blast’s precision have raised fears of a terror strike, though no group has claimed responsibility.
Vehicle Ownership Red Flags: A Terror Tactic?
Investigators were alarmed to find the suspect vehicle registered under multiple names across different states—a common tactic used by terror networks to avoid detection. Delhi Police sources reveal forged documents were used to manipulate ownership records, a pattern seen in past terror cases.
“Multi-layered vehicle ownership is a deliberate attempt to mislead investigations. This suggests organized involvement,” a senior officer told NextMinuteNews anonymously.
NIA Steps In; Sleeper Cells Under Scrutiny
With the NIA now leading the case, agencies are probing potential sleeper cell connections in Delhi-NCR. CCTV footage shows the vehicle parked near the blast site an hour before detonation, reinforcing suspicions of a premeditated attack.
Political Fallout and Security Measures
The blast has drawn sharp political reactions, with opposition leaders criticizing the government’s counter-terror preparedness. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal demanded tighter security, while Home Minister Amit Shah vowed a swift probe. Authorities have heightened vigilance at metro stations, markets, and government buildings, urging public cooperation in reporting suspicious activity.
Delhi’s History with Terror Attacks
The capital has faced multiple terror strikes, including the 2005 Diwali blasts and 2011 High Court bombing. This latest incident highlights persistent intelligence gaps despite upgraded security infrastructure.
Next Steps in the Investigation
Forensic teams are analyzing explosive materials for clues, while NIA explores potential cross-border terror links. Delhi remains on edge as officials determine if this was an isolated act or part of a larger plot.
