<b>The Delhi Police has revealed that three other low intensity indigenous bomb blasts in the past months - three at Malviya Nagar and one near IIT gate flyover - were similar to the one that took place at Mehrauli on Saturday.</b>
A police source said that a taxi driver, Babloo, was killed in a similar explosion while he was travelling on his motorcycle on Thursday night in Mehrauli but the cops refrained from sharing the information in the wake of the serial blasts.
"The two explosions at Malviya Nagar and Lado Sarai traffic intersection near Police Training College (PTC) were also similar in nature. It was reported that two men on a motorcycle dropped a packet on the road, and later it exploded breaking windows of many cars. Scores of metal shrapnel and nails were also recovered from the cars bodies," said a source. Following the explosions, the police detained few Bangladeshi nationals in Jalpaiguri in June and July, but no concrete information was revealed in their interrogations.
The police said that either Potassium Chlorate or Ammonium Nitrate was used as the chemical for the explosion, in addition to nails.
The source further added that on Thursday night when Babloo was travelling on his motorcycle, a loud noise was generated and he immediately fell from his bike. Locals reported to the police that the noise was similar to a bomb blast rather than a bullet shot. "The wounds on Babloo's body suggested that something very sharp had penetrated, unlike bullet wounds. We suspect he died due to injuries from the explosion," said an AIIMS doctor, on the condition of anonymity. Babloo's case was dismissed by the police stating that that he was shot following a love affair.
The police have recovered nails from the spot at Mehrauli, and have suggested that configuration of bombs used in serial bomb blasts are not similar in origin.
Eyewitnesses also said that immediately after the explosion a thick cloud of smoke formed, similar to the other explosions reported earlier in South Delhi.
<b>"We suspect that the bombs exploded at Malviya Nagar twice, at the same traffic intersection, and near IIT Gate were mere samples to check the intensity of the explosion. Blend of readily available chemical with metal shrapnel was used, but police took the matter lightly," added a source.</b>
A police source added that more than a dozen explosions were reported since the beginning of 2008, but the officials struck it off the records as mere mischief.
<b>Chronology of blasts</b>
January 16: Explosion near IIT Gate flyover
February 1, 2: Explosions within two minutes at Malviya Nagar and Lado Sarai traffic intersection
May 8: A bomb exploded underneath a Mercedes at same traffic signal

It means SoniaDas Gadha Patil and Joker Queen Dixit were hiding these information.
This is happening in Captial of India, what a shinning example of impotent Indian Government.
