==The blast==
Eyewitnesses reported that the blast took place after two men in black dress and wearing helmets and riding a motorcycle dropped a [[Tiffin carriers|tiffin box]] in which the bomb was placed. A thirteen-year-old boy named Santosh, who was running an errand for his uncle, to fetch a crate of eggs, picked up the box in an attempt to return it to the bikers, but they refused and fled.<ref name=PTI>{{cite news|url= http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/terror-hits-delhi-again--bomb-blast-kills-boy/366683/|author=Swaha Sahoo|title=Terror hits Delhi again; bomb blast kills boy|agency=New Delhi|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=28 September 2008|access-date=28 September 2008|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20140125013215/http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/terror-hits-delhi-again--bomb-blast-kills-bo/366683/|archivedate=25 January 2014 }}</ref> People nearby witnessed smoke coming out of the box and advised the boy to get away, but it was too late.<ref>{{cite news|url= http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=4a51cda5-fddd-4865-ade1-8efdf2d8f6a8&ParentID=51b83e2a-2ed3-4d65-b113-f3efe14f670f&&Headline=%27Aapka+packet+gir+gaya+hai%27|title=Aapka packet gir gaya hai'|newspaper=Hindustan Times|place=[[New Delhi]]|date=28 September 2008|access-date=28 September 2008}}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> The resulting explosion killed the boy and injured 18 others.
