NEW DELHI BLAST... 1 dead, 18 injured in Delhi blast
> 1 dead, 18 injured in Delhi blast :
NEW DELHI: Terror returned to Delhi a fortnight after the serial blasts with two motorcycle-borne youth dropping a tiffin bomb in a crowded south Delhi market that exploded killing a young boy and injuring 18 people.
Riding a black motorcycle, the two men in black dress and wearing helmets, dropped a black polythene bag containing a tiffin box opposite an electronic goods shop in the flower market in Mehrauli at about 2.15 pm, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) H S Dhaliwal told reporters.
A 13-year-old boy picked it up to give it back to the bikers. They refused and fled the place but the boy was still keen on giving it to them when it exploded killing him instantaneously and injuring 18 people.
Eleven of the injured were rushed to AIIMS where doctors said six were in critical condition. Five of them suffered serious head injuries. Three or four of the injured could be required to be operated upon, Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta told reporters.
The explosive shattered the window panes of several adjacent shops in the market located close to the historic Qutab Minar, which was bustling with shoppers.
The blast, which caused a crater, left a gory scene where blood was splattered on the road along with shattered glass panes and furniture.
Soon after the explosion, Home Minister Shivraj Patil reviewed the situation with top officials of his ministry. Gupta, who talked to Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal, briefed Patil on the situation.
The nature of the explosives used in today’s blast was not immediately known. Forensic experts of the NSG bomb data squad, who visited the spot, found the nails in the explosives were sharpened on both sides.
Immediately after the explosion, shopkeepers and shoppers rushed to help the injured people and took them to nearby hospitals.
“There was a huge sound. I came out of my shop and saw some people were injured and screaming for help,” a shopkeeper said.
People in the area displayed their anger by alleging that police came late despite being called several times. “Police were nowhere to be seen till one hour after the incident. We took the injured to the hospital,” a shopkeeper, who was injured in the incident, said.
Police have cordoned off the area and senior police officials have rushed to the spot to take stock of the situation.

Sincerity and honesty became the death warrant for the child who lost his life in the blast that shook the flower market in Mehrauli.
Santosh Kumar (13), who fell victim to the low-intensity bomb was trying to return the packet of the two motorcycle-borne youth.
Little Kumar did, hailing from Bihar, know that he was trying to return the bomb, which the duo had deliberately dropped.
The last words heard by eyewitnesses and his relations were Kumar saying, “bhai saab, aapka packet gir gaya hai (brother, your packet has fallen).”
“Everything happened so suddenly. Thick smoke came out instantly and there was a bang. My nephew was in blood,” recounts his maternal uncle Fantoosh, a snacks vendor selling omelets and boiled eggs.
Santosh was sent by his maternal uncle to fetch a crate of eggs when the incident happened.
His grandmother, Rekha, was wailing for Kumar who was declared brought dead by the Hospital authorities.
