“This was a very low-intensity blast, which happened opposite a sweet shop. However, we cannot establish a connection between the two incidents at this time,” a police official to PTI.
Senior police officials, including Additional Commissioner of Police Rajeev Ranjan, have reached the site. On October 20, a powerful explosion damaged a wall at the CRPF school in Rohini's Prashant Vihar area.
