Monday evening's explosion near the Red Fort, Delhi, killed nine people and injured 20 others. The explosion, which happened at 6.52 pm, was so intense that the severed arm of a person was found nearly 300 metres (1,000 feet) from the blast site.
A 12-second-long video shows the severed arm on the top of a shop at the Lajpat Rai Market, which is opposite the Red Fort Corridor. The arm, which was up to the forearm level, was seen lying on the shop's roof.
High-Grade Explosives Used In Blast
High-grade explosives were used in Monday's explosion, an official from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) earlier said. One of the explosive samples collected from the Delhi blast site is believed to be more powerful than ammonium nitrate.
