New Delhi : The Indian government has not ruled out a terror link to an explosion in an Israeli embassy car in the capital Monday that injured two people.
The car belonging to the Israeli embassy was gutted, metres away from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s 7 Race Course Road residence.
It was not immediately clear whether it was a blast or whether a CNG cylinder exploded in the car bearing registration number 109 CD 35. The occupants of the car are not known.
Home ministry sources said police investigators have already begun probe and a team of forensic experts has collected evidence from the spot. The entire area has been barricaded and sleuths were still collecting material from the site.
The sources didn’t rule out a terror link, saying anything was possible.
“It was a minor blast. But nothing is being ruled out or ruled in at this stage,” an official said.
The sources said an alert has been sounded in the capital and the government has asked foreign missions to be on vigil following the car explosion.
