Delhi Blast near Red Fort kills 8; police probe links to Kashmir arrests, Faridabad explosives, and identify suspects in ongoing NIA investigation.

Tragic Incident at Red Fort

On 10 November 2025, a car exploded near the Red Fort metro station in Delhi during evening rush hour, killing at least eight people and injuring several others. The fire from the explosion also destroyed nearby vehicles.

Investigating Possible Kashmir Connection

Authorities are examining whether the blast is linked to the recent arrest of seven men by Jammu and Kashmir police. The arrests included individuals from Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana, with some alleged to be involved in a so-called “white-collar terror ecosystem.”

Explosives Seized in Faridabad

Investigators are also checking possible connections to the seizure of 2,900kg of bomb-making material in Faridabad. Weapons, including automatic rifles, were recovered, heightening concerns about a coordinated terror operation.

National Investigation Agency Takes Charge

The NIA, India’s counter-terrorism agency, has taken over the investigation. Officials are reviewing documents and exploring all possible links, including the identity of the car’s alleged driver seen in viral media reports.

Political Response and Security Measures

Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the blast as part of a conspiracy, promising justice for those responsible. Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh vowed to track down all culprits. The Red Fort remains closed while the investigation continues.

Ongoing Queries and Media Reports

While the police and NIA have not confirmed all details, media reports suggest the car moved through the city for hours before detonating. Authorities are continuing to verify the driver’s identity and any further conspirators.
