Investigators scanned footage of CCTV cameras installed nearby and spotted a vehicle moving suspiciously near the embassy just before the explosion, sources said.
Delhi Police Additional PRO Anil Mittal said initial impressions suggest that it could be a mischievous attempt to heighten tensions.
Delhi Police chief S N Shrivastava said that the force has registered a case and its Special Cell has started investigating the matter.
The blast took place when President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were present a few kilometres away at the Beating Retreat ceremony at the culmination of the Republic Day celebrations.
