Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility of the attack. CID building along with 10 other nearby buildings got completely demolished due to this blast and a 15 to 20 feet deep crater has been formed at the site.
According to CCTV footage a white truck was seen on the road at around 8.17 which was completely covered from all sides.
