On Sunday, there was an explosion outside a CRPF school in north Delhi's Rohini area.
The blast was so powerful that it created a large hole in the school wall.
The police had questioned the caller who first informed them about the incident, according to an FIR filed.
According to an FIR, an investigation was going on about the kind of explosives used in the blast, which occurred in Prashant Vihar at 7:40 am on Sunday.
The FIR said that a cloud of white smoke was seen in the sky, and a significant amount of white powder was found scattered at the blast site. It added that forensic officials collected a sample to determine the exact cause.
The sound of the explosion was very loud, and the windows and signboards of shops opposite the CRPF Public School were destroyed.
