Sources have confirmed to The Probe that the men took an auto rickshaw from Jamia Nagar and reached Abdul Kalam Road. They placed the IED in front of the Israeli embassy and then took an auto rickshaw to Akbar Road. When they reached Akbar Road, their jackets were no longer there. Sources say that the men tried their best to cover their tracks. Moments after the men left Abdul Kalam Road, the IED exploded.
The IED explosion had shattered the windscreens of cars parked in the area. Following the explosion, Israel was quick to react and termed the blast as a terrorist incident. Since the last 6 months, the NIA has been trying to nab the suspects involved in the explosion.
