00:00Forex team taking the remains there in that blue polythene bag also being attributed to
00:06the chemical explosives. The possible link with the Faridabad seizure was also being looked into
00:14Faridabad, Uluwama and Dr. Umar. As the day progresses here in the national capital,
00:20the activities at the blast site is also warming up. The police investigators,
00:25the forensic lab experts are all geared up. Now, the rapid action force has also been
00:31deployed here to maintain the authority of the investigative agencies here so that no
00:38untoward incident also takes place. It's a hugely, hugely, densely populated area.
00:44Just look at the officials here. Also, you would see how the place, how significant it is as of now.
00:51Netaji Subhash Marg is a place where the blast took place. This is the road that connects
00:56obviously Delhi to the NCR region and also Chris Trosses, the central part of Delhi.
01:02If you would take a look at it, this place is so secure that you have to pay 20,000 rupees
01:09as penalty if you enter this particular zone. This is the Chandni Chowk area, which is the business hub
01:15of old Delhi. 20,000 rupees as penalty tells you how the strict rules are there. Look at the CCTV
01:22cameras on the poles also. All of them are there. And now, rapid action force officials standing right
01:29at the barricade where all the media houses are standing. And a lot of activity going on here
01:35when it comes to the probe of the blast that took place. Important aspect here is that the blast site,
01:45which is covered with those white cloths, the car, two cars are still there inside that perimeter,
01:53which has been now secured. No craters have been found. No sharp nails have been found. And it is
01:59suspected that is the use of chemical explosive mixture of ammonium nitrate and RDX. Remember RDX is
02:06something that always pops up in mind. The story from Faridabad where roughly 300 kilograms of ammonium
02:14nitrate was seized. And that tells you the story how the plan was made to inflict maximum casualty here
02:24in the state. This is the temple. Now, as you see, there's some activity at the Digamba Jain Lal Mandir,
02:31which is barely 10 to 15 meters from the blast site. And it appears that the mandir officials are also
02:38speaking to the media. They are planning to come out and the media is trying to get a soundbite from them
02:45that what did they see. Obviously, the blast was so intense that the shock waves must have been felt
02:53in and around this area of 100 meters. But the blast audio was palpable. And you must have seen videos
03:03doing rounds where some of the YouTubers who are making the videos were also taken back. These are the
03:11samples that have been collected by the cops, video recorded all the elements and forex team taking the
03:18remains there in that blue polythene bag. So this is obviously the sharp nails, the FSL Delhi team collecting
03:29the samples from there and they are leaving nothing to chance, leaving no stone unturned. Look at the distance
03:40between this temple and the blast site. This tells you the intensity. If things have flown from there till
03:48here, that tells you the story. So the nature of the blast, as I was mentioning, is something also being
03:56attributed to the chemical explosives. And a plausible explanation is soon expected. But as of now,
04:05nothing with certainty has been given to the media. And the possible link with the
04:13Faridabad seizure was also being looked into. And we have, you know, seen it in the past also that
04:21only after intense probe would the forensic team be able to get to the bottom of the story. Initial probe
04:32led the police to a man named Salman from Gurgaon, who allegedly owned the HR 26-7674 I-20 car involved
04:40in the blast. Then he tells the police that he had sold the car to someone named Devinder. In March,
04:47police then contacted the RTO to fetch further details of the sellers. Fictitious IDs were used and one of
04:52them was also a Pulwama resident. So these three keywords, Faridabad, Pulwama and Dr. Umar, is
05:00something that is giving a tough time to the investigative agencies. Meanwhile, the forensic science
05:07laboratories personnel are doing their due diligence to go to get to the bottom of the nature of the
05:14explosion. This is Pankaj Misha reporting from the blast site in New Delhi with camera person Imran Shah
05:21for One India.
