History

Historical Context

After the five synchronized blasts on 13 September 2008 that killed at least 20 people and injured over 90, Delhi Police increased bomb-disposal efforts and the National Investigation Agency led investigations into Indian Mujahideen links. The 2008 attacks spurred ongoing security upgrades, prompting the 2026 deployment of bomb squads to the British School and Air Force Bal Bharati School.
