The minor explosion took place on Friday evening in a high-security zone of the national capital. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
Investigating agencies are yet to identify any suspect in the case, but have stressed that all angles were being covered in the probe.
The blast took place when President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were present a few kilometres away at the Beating Retreat ceremony at the culmination of the Republic Day celebrations.
The explosion took place on a day when India and Israel marked the completion of the 29th anniversary of establishment of their diplomatic relations.
