What Happened In Delhi?
A high-intensity explosion in a vehicle parked near the Red Fort Metro Station triggered panic in the area, setting multiple vehicles ablaze and shattering nearby window panes. At least 10 people were killed, and more than 30 injured, according to sources.
Police sounded a high alert in Delhi. Seven fire tenders were rushed to the spot with police cordoning off the area, the Delhi Fire Services said. Later, a team from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) reached the site after intelligence inputs suggested the explosion was linked to a terror-related plot.
High alerts were sounded in all major cities, including Mumbai, Bengaluru and Jaipur. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has issued a high alert across the country, including airports, Delhi Metro, heritage sites, government buildings and other key installations under its security cover.
According to sources, CCTV footage from the entire area, including the nearby metro station, is being examined to trace any suspicious movements. Preliminary inputs suggest that the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device (IED). One suspect is currently in Delhi Police custody, and possible links to Jammu and Kashmir are being investigated.
