NEW DELHI, Nov 11
Findings of the initial probe into the blast near the Red Fort suggest it may have been “accidentally triggered” while a hastily assembled explosive device was being transported, following the busting of an inter-state terror module, officials said on Tuesday.

However, police are probing all angles, including suicide bomber attack, sources said.
The officer said that intelligence teams’ first assessment suggests the improvised Explosive Device (IED) was assembled incorrectly, which limited its destructive effect.
“The bomb was premature and not fully developed, thus limiting the impact. The explosion did not create a crater and no shrapnel or projectiles were found,” he added. (PTI)
