On September 13, 2008, a series of synchronised bomb blasts rocked the heart of the national capital, Delhi. The blasts claimed 30 innocent lives and injured over 100, sending shockwaves across India. The attacks were linked with a banned terrorist outfit--Indian Mujahideen (IM). The outfit had claimed responsibility through e-mail which was sent to major TV news channels shortly after the first blast. They had also claimed responsibility for other incidents of bomb blasts that had happened in Jaipur, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad.
The blasts were a stark reminder of the constant threat of terrorism lurking in the shadows. Multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) planted at crowded marketplaces were detonated, causing widespread panic and chaos. It became evident that the perpetrators aimed to inflict maximum casualties and sow fear among the populace.
