A CCTV footage of the Israel Embassy blast site has revealed that a cab had dropped two people near the embassy and it is yet to be ascertained whether they have any role in the explosion, according to Delhi Police sources.
The Delhi Police Special Cell has contacted the cab driver and enquired about the two people. Police are drawing out the pictures of the two on the basis of inputs gathered from the cab driver.
The police are on high alert following the Israel Embassy low-intensity blast and sources have confirmed that ammonium nitrate was used for the explosion. Sources have also said this blast may be a trial of some “bigger conspiracy”.
“The forensic team has got evidence of the usage of ammonium nitrate for the blast which caused a small trench at the site,” sources said, adding that if RDX was used then the impact would have been higher.
Police have also recovered a separate CCTV footage, a half-burnt pink scarf and an envelope addressed to Israel Ambassador from the blast site, sources said.
Police also found a camera hidden behind a tree near the blast site. In the footage retrieved from the camera, the timestamp was of the year 1970 but the content is not clear and police are investigating it to ascertain information.
The envelope that was found from the spot was found around 12 yards away from the blast site and police sources have said that the letter was addressed to the Israel Ambassador. Police are tracing its fingerprints and examining its contents.
