Upon reaching the location, a police team conducted a thorough search of the area but did not find anything suspicious.

Though the team investigating the complaint left the area, in an empty plot of land just a few meters from the embassy police found a letter addressed to the Israeli Ambassador, along with a flag wrapped around it, the report said.

The police have confiscated the letter for further investigation.

Israel's deputy envoy Ohad Nakash Kaynar, in a video statement, said, "This evening, several minutes after 5 pm, an explosion occurred in close proximity with the embassy. All our workers are safe. Our diplomats are safe. Our security teams are working in full cooperation with the local Delhi security."
