In the aftermath of a low-intensity blast near the Israeli embassy in New Delhi, the Delhi Police have taken action by filing an FIR against unknown individuals, as confirmed by officials on Saturday.

The FIR has been initiated under Section 3 (punishment for causing an explosion likely to endanger life or property) of the Explosive Substances Act. This legal step was taken at the Tughlak Road police station, prompted by a complaint filed by a police officer, according to sources.
