A powerful explosion ripped through the workday bustle at the Delhi High Court Wednesday morning, killing 11 people and injuring at least 76.
The bomb went off around 10.30 a.m. just outside Gate No. 5 of the court complex near India Gate in central Delhi, where passes are issued for the hundreds of litigants, media personnel and other visitors.
“There are 486 vulnerable sites in Delhi. Though the security agencies are vigilant, the terror threats can never be imagined to be away from Delhi. We will see what is the best we can do to stop such incidents,” Khanna added.
