There was a blast near a school in Rohini
On October 20, a powerful explosion ripped through the wall of a CRPF school in Delhi’s Rohini area, damaging nearby shops and vehicles and also creating a hole in the wall of the building, though there were no reports of casualties in the incident. A pro-Khalistani group claimed responsibility for the blast on Telegram, following which the Delhi Police contacted the social media app and sought information about the channel from where the post originated.
