'Very low-intensity blast'

In a statement, the police said the PCR unit received a call informing about a bomb like explosion in Prashant Vihar area. A Bomb detection team, dog squad, local police force, along with the Delhi Fire Services are present at the spot.

According to PTI citing police sources, the Thursday morning explosion is similar to the blast that occurred outside of a CRPF school's boundary wall in Prashant Vihar last month.

"But this was a very low-intensity blast which occurred opposite a sweet shop. We cannot link them right now," the source said.
