Delhi On High Alert
At least nine people were killed on Monday evening after a car exploded near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station, in what officials now suspect was a terror-related incident. A call about the blast was received around 6:55 pm, following which seven fire tenders were rushed to the spot.
According to official sources, security has been heightened across key installations and high-footfall areas, including markets and shopping malls, with the CISF and local police placed on alert. Central agencies are assessing the incident and have described the gravity of the blast as significant.
The incident occurred just hours after police uncovered an interstate terror module allegedly linked to banned organisations and seized more than 2,900 kilograms of suspected ammonium nitrate. This included 360 kg recovered earlier and an additional 2,500 kg of the explosive substance.
