When the probe team reached the spot, the house was closed and a suspicious bag was found on the road. The fire department and National Security Guard (NSG) were informed to rush to the spot.

On January 14, an unclaimed bag was recovered in front of Gate No 1 of Ghazipur Mandi, Delhi. An IED was found inside the bag which was later diffused by NSG.

The Delhi Police probe had revealed that the IED found in Ghazipur was part of the 24-bomb consignment sent from across the border either through land or sea route by the Pakistani deep state to the terrorists.
