A powerful car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort Metro Station on November 10, 2025, claimed eight lives and injured over two dozen people, prompting a national investigation under anti-terror laws.
The blast occurred around 7:15 PM near Gate No. 1, involving a Hyundai i20 with a Haryana number plate. Authorities suspect an IED or CNG cylinder explosion.
The case has been registered under the UAPA and Explosives Act, with three suspects from Pulwama detained and the car owner questioned. CCTV footage captured a lone suspect near the car shortly before the explosion.
Home Minister Amit Shah ordered a detailed probe, while PM Narendra Modi reviewed the security situation. A high alert was issued across Delhi and major cities, with intensified checks at metro stations, hotels, and public areas.
