UP ATS Steps In After Explosion Rocks Vasundhara Police Outpost
A delivery boy was injured after an explosion rocked the Vasundhara police outpost in Ghaziabad. UP ATS and forensic teams are now investigating.
The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has launched a high-level probe into a mysterious explosion that occurred at the Vasundhara police outpost in Ghaziabad. The specialized unit arrived at the Indirapuram Police Station on Saturday to spearhead the investigation into the blast that took place on Friday night.
Chaos at the Outpost
The incident sent shockwaves through the Indirapuram area when a sudden explosion ripped through the police outpost. According to officials, the blast occurred while a sub-inspector and a delivery boy were inside the premises. The delivery boy, who had visited the outpost to drop off an item, was caught in the aftermath and sustained injuries caused by shattered glass flying from the impact.
High-Level Investigation Underway
Given the sensitive nature of the location, the state government has deployed top officials and specialized teams to decode the cause of the blast. Joining the UP ATS at the scene were:
- Additional Commissioner of Police Raj Karan Nayar
- Indirapuram ACP Suryabali Maurya
- A specialized forensic team tasked with collecting evidence from the site
What Caused the Blast?
While the presence of the ATS suggests a rigorous security screening, the local police have maintained a cautious stance regarding the origin of the explosion. Indirapuram ACP Suryabali Maurya confirmed that the sub-inspector and the delivery boy were the only individuals present during the event.
Authorities have stated that the exact nature of the explosion—whether it was accidental or intentional—will only be established once the forensic analysis is complete and the ATS concludes its interrogation and site inspection.
