Terror Attack Suspected
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. The firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control in a short time.
Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital stated that 24 people were brought in severe condition, of which eight were declared dead. The remaining 16 people are undergoing treatment. The exact cause of the explosion, which triggered panic in the area, is yet to be determined.
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.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took stock of the situation and spoke to Home Minister Amit Shah, according to government sources. Security authorities are assessing the impact of the attack and probing a terror link.
