In the hours after the explosion in the embassy Toyota Innova,police had said an eyewitness claimed to have seen a man on a red motorcycle attaching an object to the rear end of the vehicle before speeding away.
According to the FIR,such was the impact of the explosion that a rear door of the Innova landed some 50 feet away.
Even windowpanes of bungalow number 36 and 37,Aurangzeb Road (near the explosion site) were shattered due to the blast. It was not a blast in the CNG kit as per the police control room (PCR) call received at Tughlaq Road police station at 3.15 pm. The car did not have a CNG kit, the FIR stated.
A police officer said Friday that intelligence agencies are looking at the records of not just Iranian and Lebanese nationals,but also Israelis who visited Delhi in the last one month.
Police said they were yet to receive the forensic report on the explosion.
Cases have been registered under Section 307 (attempt to murder),Section 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of Rs 50),Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code and Explosives Act.
Police recovered magnetic pieces from the scene of explosion.
It was a powerful explosion as the rear door of the Innova was thrown 50 feet away. The local police did not understand that it was a terror attack and made a call that there was a fire in a CNG kit. A good one hour was wasted. Had barricades been put up in time,the attacker could possibly have been apprehended , an officer said.
