There was a big explosion in a car near Red Fort metro station in Delhi, in which so far 8 people have died and 14 people have been injured. The administration is investigating the reason behind this attack and finding out what was the conspiracy behind this attack. Due to this many security agencies have reached the spot. So let us know how the security agencies investigate the blast after any blast and what is the complete protocol from beginning to end.
How is the investigation done and what is the protocol?
As soon as information about the blast is received, local police, fire brigade and ambulance teams first reach the spot. Their first goal is to save people’s lives and control the fire. There is smoke, injuries and debris spread all around. First of all, the area is sealed, so that no outsider or media can enter inside and the evidence is not tampered with.
Medical teams triage the injured on the spot, that is, who needs to be immediately sent to the hospital and who needs to be given first aid there. During this time, the surrounding buildings are evacuated so that there is no risk of any further explosion or collapse.
Second phase: investigation and forensic process
While the rescue operation is going on, security agencies and EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) units scan every inch of the incident site. To see if any secondary device is installed anywhere else. After this, forensic experts collect metal pieces, gunpowder traces and electronic circuits from the debris. From this evidence, an attempt is made to find out what type of explosive was used in the blast, what was its source and what the pattern of the blast says.

CCTV footage, mobile data, banking records, travel details, everything is checked. Alerts are also issued in other parts of the country so that if any network is active, it can be detected in time.
In such situations, rumors are most dangerous. Therefore, official statements and helpline numbers are immediately issued by the administration. Families are informed of the condition of their loved ones. Only certified information is given to the media so that the situation does not worsen by spreading false news.
