The 27 September 2008 Delhi bombing in India's second largest metropolis left three people dead and twenty-three more injured, on an infamous Saturday.[2] [3][4][5] The explosion occurred at 14:15, in Mehrauli's Electronic market called Sarai. Initially, there were reports of two persons, including a thirteen-year-old boy, named Santosh being killed in the attack. However, the next day the death toll rose to three.[1][6][7] About 23 others were injured[8] and were treated at AIIMS and Fortis Hospital.[9] The bombing took place exactly two weeks after the five serial blasts in Delhi on 13 September 2008.[10]
