Days after the low-intensity blast near the Israeli embassy in Delhi, police are trying to trace the suspects. After scanning CCTV footage from the area, the police have narrowed in on about a dozen suspects.

However, one suspect stood out and has become the focus of the probe. According to Indian Express sources, the man arrived at the location in an autorickshaw.

The auto driver, whom police tracked down, said that the man had approached him outside Jamia Nagar Metro station and struck a deal for ₹150.

The driver said the man was not able to speak Hindi properly and asked him to drop him at Prithviraj Road.

The police found that the suspect, within three-four minutes of deboarding, got into another auto and left for Kartavya Path.

“Police are conducting searches in Jamia Nagar, scanning CCTVs, and questioning locals for leads about the suspect. The three CCTV cameras outside Jamia Nagar Metro station were not working,” the source said, as per The Indian Express.

Meanwhile, the police are yet to file an FIR in connection with the incident.

Israel has called the blast a “possible terror attack”. The country has issued a travel advisory for its citizens in India.
