A major revelation has come to light in the investigation of the blast that took place near Bansiwala Sweets and CRPF School in Prashant Vihar. It has come to light that benzoyl peroxide i.e. bleaching powder was used in the blast. Some other chemicals were also mixed with the powder, but even the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) located in Rohini has not been able to find out which chemicals they were. On the other hand, officials say that till date bleaching powder has not been used in terrorist incidents or bomb blasts. In such a situation, either someone is throwing waste or mischief is being done.

what is benzoyl
Benzoyl peroxide is an anti-acne ingredient found in gels, cleansers, and spot treatments. It is used in varying amounts to treat mild to moderate pain. Despite being effective in removing bacteria and dead skin cells from pores, it has its limitations. It treats acne, reduces acne-causing bacteria and prevents the skin from becoming dry and flaky. It is used for better results.
Prashant Vihar police station is investigating the blast near CRPF school. The investigation did not reveal anything like a terrorist incident or bomb blast, hence the investigation was not handed over to the Special Cell. In the second blast case also, an FIR was registered at Prashant Vihar police station. However, other agencies are also investigating.

‘There is no mischief, the message is in the blasts’
According to former Deputy Commissioner of Police L Na Rao, with two blasts in 40 days, it seems that this is not a mischief, but there is a message in it. The mischief maker will not work so hard. Some terrorist organization may be behind these blasts. They want to send a message to the agencies that we can do a lot.
The explosive has been designed in such a way that it creates fear among the people. The chemicals or powders etc. used in explosives are easily available in the market. First there was a blast on the wall of CRPF school. Then there was an explosion a few meters away in front of the Crime Branch office.
