In September, two armed men posing as lawyers killed gangster Jitender Maan alias Gogi inside Rohini district court before being gunned down by police personnel. Now, a low-intensity explosion took place inside courtroom number 102 in Rohini district court on Thursday morning, resulting in minor injuries to a constable. The impact of the explosion also led to a small portion of the courtroom floor caving in as reported in various news. Proceedings in the court have been suspended. Although it was initially assumed that a laptop in courtroom 102 had exploded, top sources in the Delhi Police have confirmed that the explosion was a low-intensity bomb blast. An improvised explosive device (IED) and a tiffin-like object were recovered from the site.
The Delhi Police said the blast took place inside courtroom 102 of metropolitan magistrate where they address traffic-related cases. “There was something inside a laptop bag and it exploded inside the court. The impact was so high leading to a small portion of the floor caving in,” a senior police officer said.
The injured court staff has been identified as constable Rajiv Kumar, posted with Sultanpuri police station. He was taken to Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital for treatment.
