New Delhi – Tensions escalated on Thursday after Indian media reports claimed that authorities are suspecting Türkiye’s involvement in a recent blast in New Delhi, though no official confirmation has been issued by the Indian government. The incident, which occurred near a high-security zone, is currently under investigation by counterterrorism agencies.
According to early reports circulating in local outlets, investigators are examining possible foreign links, with Türkiye being mentioned as a “potential influencer” behind the suspected plot. However, officials have so far refrained from making any public accusations, urging media to avoid speculation until the probe is complete.
Türkiye has strongly rejected the emerging claims, calling them “baseless, irresponsible, and harmful to bilateral relations.” Turkish diplomatic sources emphasized that Ankara condemns all forms of terrorism and has no involvement in the blast.
Security analysts warn that unverified accusations could strain relations between the two countries, which have seen fluctuating diplomatic engagements in recent years. Delhi Police and federal agencies continue to gather forensic evidence while reviewing CCTV footage and communication records.
More details are expected once the official investigation report is released.
