Patil also wished the injured who are being treated at several Delhi hospitals, including Ram Manohar Lohia (RML), a “speedy recovery”. Most of the injured are admitted at the RML Hospital in the heart of the city.
A powerful bomb hidden in a suitcase exploded outside the Delhi High Court Wednesday during the peak morning hour. This is the third major bombing in India since the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.
