NEW DELHI: One person was injured as a crude bomb sent in a courier exploded on Monday evening in Delhi’s Jamia Nagar area.
The blast took place at around 4pm when Mohammad Uzair, 45, a resident of Shaheen Bagh in Jamia Nagar, opened a courier.
Uzair works as a manpower supplier and the blast occurred at the ground-floor of a three-storeyed building.
Uzair suffered burn injuries and was rushed to the AIMMS Trauma Centre. His condition is reported as stable.
Police investigations have revealed that the bomb was kept inside a shoe-shaped box, which was kept in a plastic bag. The bag was then delivered to Uzair.
The person who delivered the courier fled as soon as the bomb exploded.
Investigations by forensic experts revealed that it was a crude bomb which contained battery splinters.
The police have registered a case under IPC 307 and the Explosive Act.
It is suspected that the parcel bomb might have been sent by someone with whom Mohammad Uzair had enmity in recent past.
The family and relatives of Uzair are being questioned by the police for further details.
Search is on to track the courier company which delivered the parcel.
