A powerful explosion in a vehicle near the iconic Red Fort metro station in Delhi’s historic district on Monday evening has left at least eight people dead and around 20 others injured. The blast occurred when a slow-moving car reportedly stopped at a traffic signal before detonating in a heavily congested area of India’s capital.
Security forces responded quickly, with multiple fire engines, ambulances, and forensic teams rushing to the scene. The blast also ignited several nearby vehicles, adding to the chaos and destruction. Authorities have sealed off the area and launched a full investigation, with national security agencies monitoring the situation closely.
Officials said the car involved was registered in Haryana, and the owner has been taken into custody for questioning. While the motive remains unclear, investigators are treating the case with the highest priority and are exploring all possible leads, including potential links to organized networks. The national capital and nearby states have been placed on high alert as a precautionary measure.
