Indian media outlets have reported that a case was registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act
Indian police are investigating Monday’s deadly car blast in New Delhi under a strict law aimed at combating terrorism, according to local media. So far, 12 people have been confirmed dead and dozens more injured by the car blast in a densely populated area of Delhi.
Indian TV channels said a case was registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), a law enacted in 1967 to combat acts of alleged terrorism. Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday that “all angles” are being investigated and security agencies would come to a conclusion soon.
Although the cause and perpetrators of the blast are still unknown, Indian media reports indicate that it occurred on the same day police discovered 2,900kg of explosives in Faridabad, 50km (31 miles) from the Indian capital. The seizure was part of a counterterrorism operation conducted by police from Jammu, Kashmir, and Haryana.
Two individuals, a university professor, and a doctor were reportedly arrested in connection with the bust. Former Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police SP Vaid said the suspects are likely linked to Pakistan’s “deep state” and that the seized explosives were intended for use in a terrorist attack. The UAPA was amended in August 2019 by the Indian government, which added the provision of designating an individual as terrorist. Prior to this amendment, only organizations could be designated as terrorists.
