Packs of tiny nails wrapped with the ‘crude’ explosive darted in the air and got wedged into cars parked at a traffic signal in Lado Sarai. The bonnet of a Mercedes was blown off by the impact.

Most of these blasts have been reported in Lado Sarai and adjoining areas, suggesting that the same person or a group based here is behind the explosions, said a police officer. Eight such blasts have taken place in south Delhi in the past few years. Not a single case has been solved.
