Delhi Red Fort Blast Live: CM Rekha Gupta announces ex gratia for victims; Lal Quila Metro Station to remain closed tomorrow
Delhi Red Fort Car Blast News Live: The investigation into Monday night’s car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort has gathered pace, with police arresting at least four suspects in connection with the blast. Officials said overnight searches were carried out across several hotels in the Paharganj and Daryaganj areas, during which registers were examined and four people detained for questioning.
The high-intensity explosion occurred at a traffic signal near the Red Fort Metro Station at around 6:52pm, tearing through a Hyundai i20 and setting multiple nearby vehicles ablaze. Police initially confirmed nine deaths, while three more injured victims later succumbed, taking the toll to 12. Several others remain hospitalised with serious burns and blast injuries.
Following the incident, the ministry of home affairs (MHA) handed over the probe to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is examining the case under provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The National Security Guard (NSG) has also inspected the site as part of the counter-terror response.
Investigators are probing possible terror links after preliminary findings indicated the blast may have been deliberate, a ‘Fidayeen’ (suicide bombing) attack. The father of the suspected driver has been detained for questioning in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district, while his mother has been taken for a DNA test to confirm the driver’s identity.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing grief over the tragedy, said, “The conspirators behind this will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice.” He added that he was in touch with agencies throughout the night to review developments.
Union home minister Amit Shah also chaired a high-level security review meeting at his residence, attended by the home secretary, the directors of the Intelligence Bureau and NIA, and the Delhi police commissioner. The director general of police (DGP) of Jammu and Kashmir joined the meeting virtually.
Police said the explosion took place when the car was stationary at a signal, with the impact scattering debris and body parts over nearby radius. Forensic teams are continuing to collect samples from the site as authorities maintain tight security in and around central Delhi.
With the NIA leading the investigation, officials said all angles - including the possibility of a coordinated attack - are being explored.

Officials say Delhi blast may have been a panic trigger after record explosive haul
According to top government sources quoted by ANI, initial findings into the Red Fort blast suggest the explosion may have been triggered by panic and desperation rather than a carefully planned operation. Investigators believe the suspect acted hastily following a series of coordinated raids by security agencies across Delhi-NCR and Jammu & Kashmir’s Pulwama, during which large quantities of explosives were recovered. This mounting pressure is thought to have prompted the suspect to act prematurely.
Sources said the device used in the explosion was “not fully developed,” which limited its overall impact. The blast did not create a crater, and no shrapnel or projectiles were recovered from the site - an indication that the bomb was incomplete. Investigators also noted that the suspect’s actions did not follow the typical pattern of a suicide car attack, as he neither rammed the vehicle into a target nor attempted a direct collision. Officials said a major terror strike may have been averted due to “pan-India alertness and coordinated crackdown” on suspect modules. Whether the blast was accidental or part of an aborted plan will be determined as the investigation progresses.

"Our hearts are with those affected by the terrible explosion in New Delhi. We continue to closely monitor the situation. Our sincere condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. Praying for the speedy recovery of those injured," US State Department posts on X.
Investigation into Monday night’s car explosion near the Red Fort has rapidly advanced - at least four suspects have been arrested in connection with the blast. Overnight raids by the Delhi Police targeted several hotels in the Paharganj and Daryaganj areas of the national capital, during which hotel registers were inspected and four individuals taken into custody for questioning.
The arrests come as investigators continue probing the high-intensity explosion that tore through a slow-moving car at a traffic signal near the Red Fort Metro Station on Monday evening. Officials say the blast killed at least nine people and left multiple vehicles ablaze.
In response, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken charge of the case following its hand-over by the ministry of home affairs (MHA). Investigators are treating the incident as a possible terror act under the anti-terrorism law, the unlawful activities (prevention) act (UAPA).
Further probing revealed that the suspected driver’s father has been detained for questioning in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, while the mother has been called for a DNA test. Meanwhile, counter-terror forces including the National Security Guard (NSG) have conducted on-site investigations. In his first public remarks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: “The conspirators behind this will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice.”
Meanwhile, Union home minister Amit Shah convened a high-level security review meeting attended by senior officials including the Home Secretary, the IB Director and the NIA Director-General, which also saw the J&K DGP join virtually.
Police said the vehicle in question, a Hyundai i20, was stationary at a traffic signal when the explosion occurred, damaging several surrounding vehicles and creating a scene of utter devastation with body parts and debris thrown over a 20–25-metre radius.
Security has been heightened across Delhi and in neighbouring states, and the area around the Red Fort has been sealed off as forensic teams continue to examine the site. With the death toll rising and the nature of the explosion still under scrutiny, authorities say the investigation into possible terror links is ongoing and all angles remain open.
