There was a low intensity blast outside the Delhi High Court complex on Wednesday as a crude bomb exploded, police said.
There were no casualties or damage.
The blast occurred around 1.15 pm, a busy weekday afternoon when the court was in session, just a few meters from the Delhi High Court complex.
The explosion took place close to a silver Ford Figo car in a parking bay behind the court premises, close to a monument.
'A small packet was kept close to a car in the parking near gate number seven of the Delhi High Court,' Special Commissioner of Police Dharmendra Kumar told reporters.
He denied reports that there was shrapnel in the packet.
