Nowgam Police Station Blast Ruled Accidental, Confirms Top Cop
The Director General of Police (DGP) for Jammu and Kashmir has officially stated that the recent explosion at the Nowgam police station was an accidental incident, firmly ruling out any connection to terrorism.
Explosives from Ongoing Investigation
Addressing a press conference at the Police Control Room in Srinagar, the police chief provided crucial details. He revealed that the explosive material which detonated had been previously seized by the police. This seizure was part of an investigation that was initiated last month, after posters belonging to the militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad were discovered in the Nowgam area.
The authorities had been holding the material as evidence in this ongoing probe. The incident underscores the inherent risks involved in handling and storing such dangerous substances, even within secure police facilities.
Official Statement Clears the Air
By clearly stating 'no terror link', the J&K police chief has moved quickly to dispel potential rumors and prevent unnecessary panic. The confirmation was made during a press briefing held on 15 November 2025.
This official clarification is significant for maintaining public calm and providing a clear, factual account of the event. The police are conducting a thorough internal review of the incident to understand the exact circumstances that led to the accidental detonation and to prevent any such occurrences in the future.
