Rohini court blast: DRDO scientist learnt bomb making online; here's why he took extreme step

The 47-year-old DRDO scientist Bharat Bhushan Kataria, who police say planted a bomb inside Rohini court to kill his neighbor, allegedly learned how to make a bomb online, including on YouTube.

The arrested scientist allegedly ordered several devices from e-commerce websites and ammonium nitrate from a local shop. He spent around Rs 5,000.

Getting fined for not appearing before the court; his wife being detected with cancer; having to pay Rs 50,000 rent; and the possibility of facing criminal charges — these are some of the key factors that, police believe, drove the DRDO scientist over the edge.

Police found that Kataria’s neighbor had filed a criminal case against him and during the hearings on November 1, the court fined him Rs 1,000 for “unnecessary adjournment”.

Police said that Kataria was not getting leave from his office to attend the court hearings.

Kataria also faced a legal suit by his neighbour over installing a water tank. He had moved to live in an apartment on rent and had recently discovered that his wife had cancer.
