Delhi investigators are delving into the school explosion incident involving suspicious white powder and cryptic messages. The explosion, which occurred at a school in Rohini, New Delhi, sparked immediate concern, prompting the involvement of several high-level agencies, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and National Security Guard (NSG). The police initially suspected a terror link, possibly from lone wolves or organized groups, but no terrorist outfit has yet claimed responsibility.

‘White Powder’ and Security Concerns

Authorities discovered a white substance at the blast site, which is being analysed for explosive materials. Preliminary reports suggest it could be unburnt explosive powder. Despite its presence, the Delhi Police clarified that they have not confirmed any specific chemical components as of now. Security measures have been ramped up across the city, especially around schools, to monitor any suspicious activity.

The ‘Message’ Angle

Investigators are also examining a message found at the site. Sources indicate that this cryptic note might be a crucial clue, hinting at a planned attack. Authorities are exploring the possibility of local perpetrators using digital tools like proxy servers to mask their identities. The email trail suggests the involvement of foreign servers, raising suspicions about international conspiracies.

Statements from Authorities

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena reassured the public of heightened vigilance and promised stern action against those responsible for the panic. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) expressed concerns about a pattern, as recent threats coincided with public warnings from political opponents, hinting at a broader orchestrated plot.

The Way Forward

With no group taking responsibility, investigators are treating this incident as a domestic security threat, exploring angles involving disgruntled individuals or organized crime. Schools have been advised to enhance digital and physical security measures to prevent future incidents. The probe is ongoing, and the authorities remain alert to any new developments.
