The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been tasked with looking into the incident after Delhi Police got a report of a “blast” that was heard close to the Israel Embassy.
On Wednesday morning, an NIA team, along by members of the Delhi Special Cell and Dog Squad, arrived at the Israeli Embassy to begin their investigation into the purported “blast” telephone event. Meanwhile, after looking over the area’s CCTV footage, Delhi police have focused in on two “suspects.” Sources stated on Wednesday that officials have not confirmed the pair’s involvement in the same.
According to sources, two persons roaming near the Israel embassy on Tuesday evening have emerged as suspects in the alleged ‘blast’ incident. “Two persons are seen roaming in the area in CCTV footage. Their role in the ‘blast’ call incident is not yet clear. We are trying to ascertain their identity and what were they doing in the area at the time of the call. Things will become clear only after their questioning,” they said.
Now the police are examining CCTVs of nearby areas to find out as to how the two suspects reached there and which route they took. They are also trying to ascertain the identity of the two suspects. Delhi police found a letter addressed to the Israeli ambassador near the Israel Embassy on Tuesday evening in connection with the ‘blast’ call.
“A letter has been written in English to the Israeli Embassy in which threatening words are used. The group whose name is written on the letter is Sir Allah Resistance,” said sources.
Police are currently examining the letter and are yet to reveal details.
