Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said investigators were examining every possible angle behind the explosion in a car in Delhi, cautioning against drawing hasty conclusions about whether it was a terror attack.

Speaking at a press conference in the national capital, Shah confirmed that the blast occurred in a Hyundai i20, with several people present inside the vehicle at the time. The explosion, he said, took place in the rear section of the car.

Blast site samples sent for forensic, NSG examination

Emphasising the need for patience, Shah said it was “too early” to determine the exact cause of the incident. “We are keeping all angles open and investigating from every perspective. It is very difficult to say what caused the incident until the samples recovered from the blast site are analysed by the FSL and NSG. However, we do not consider any angle closed. We will investigate all angles with determination,” he stated.

Blast pattern not typical of past terror attacks

Shah noted that the explosion did not bear similarities to previous terror incidents. In earlier cases, he said, investigators had found nails and wires at the site, components commonly used in improvised explosive devices, but such evidence was missing this time.

He also pointed out that the blast had not left a depression on the ground, another usual indicator of a high-intensity explosion. Additionally, Shah said that unlike victims of terror-related blasts, those affected in this incident did not show signs of facial burns or blackening caused by explosive residue.
