Intro: A Shocking Blast Rocks Delhi’s Heart
November 10, 2025, turned tragic for the capital as a massive explosion rocked a car near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort at 6:52 PM, killing 13 and injuring 24. The blast at Gate 1 of Lal Qila Metro station sent shockwaves through the crowded tourist hub, mangling vehicles and scattering debris. Eyewitnesses described a scene of horror: “The car just burst – body parts on the road, fire everywhere.” 🚨

Over 700 words of updates, eyewitness stories, investigation insights, and security implications – stay informed as details unfold!
The Blast: What Happened in the Heart of Old Delhi
Casualties: 13 dead, 24 injured. Blast intensity damaged nearby cars, doors blown off vans. Ambulances rushed 20+ to hospitals; Shah visited victims.
The slow-moving car stopped at a red light when it detonated, flames engulfing the area. Horrific visuals showed a mangled vehicle and scattered remains. Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha said, “Explosion in the vehicle damaged nearby cars… Home Minister called us; situation under control.” Shah updated Modi, ramping security at Indo-Nepal border.
Forensics and NIA now lead, probing if it’s terror-related. Eyewitness: “It was like a movie – sudden boom, then chaos.” 😱
The site, a busy tourist spot, was cordoned off; traffic disrupted for hours.
The Faridabad Explosives Haul: A Chilling Prelude?
Just hours earlier, J&K Police raided two Faridabad homes, seizing 2,900kg explosives, including 350kg ammonium nitrate – a bomb-maker’s staple. Arrested: Doctor Adil Rather from Saharanpur, Muzammil Shakeel from Al-Falah Hospital, and a female colleague with a rifle in her Maruti Swift. Another rifle and ammo found in Anantnag’s GMC locker.
Rather, nabbed for Jaish-e-Mohammed posters in Srinagar, led to the bust. The module links to Jaish and al-Qaeda’s Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind – white-collar terror via medical cover. “No one suspects doctors,” police said. Five more arrested, probe ongoing. 🧨
Timing raises eyebrows – is the blast connected? NIA’s on it.
Investigation Updates: NIA Takes Charge
NIA deployed post-blast, analyzing CCTV and forensics. Golcha: “Vehicle stopped at light – explosion toward rear.” No group claimed yet, but Faridabad ties suggest terror. Security tightened at borders, airports; Indo-Nepal checks ramped.
Key Leads: Ammonium nitrate match with Faridabad haul; Rather’s Saharanpur links; female doctor’s car as possible transport.
Shah: “Full cooperation with Delhi Police.” Modi briefed, national alert issued. Eyewitnesses aided with sketches; blast residue tests underway. 🔍
Update: No further threats; Red Fort reopened under heavy guard.
Security Implications: A Wake-Up Call for Urban India?
This blast, if terror-linked, exposes vulnerabilities in crowded spots like Red Fort. Faridabad’s haul – 12 suitcases of explosives hidden in homes – highlights white-collar threats: Doctors as couriers? It’s chilling. Police cracked the module via CCTV and intel, but the timing suggests a larger network.
Lessons: Boost urban surveillance, border checks; community tips key. Past blasts like Pulwama echo – prevention over cure. 🛡️
Experts urge AI for threat detection; public vigilance saves lives.
Outro: Delhi Mourns, But Resilience Shines
