Key Details from Reports:
Casualties – Reports indicate that between six and nine people were killed, and around 27 to 29 others were injured, including police officers and forensic officials. The death toll figures vary slightly across sources.

Context – The stored explosives were recently seized in Faridabad, Haryana, in connection with the investigation into a “white-collar” terror module, believed to be linked to the recent blast near the Red Fort in Delhi. This module is allegedly connected to the terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
Impact – The explosion was reportedly so massive that it could be heard miles away, causing significant damage to the police station building and setting several parked vehicles on fire.
An investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances that led to the accidental explosion.
