Delhi Red Fort Blast: What We Know So Far
The explosion occurred near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station, where a Haryana-registered car went up in flames, killing at least eight people on the spot. Authorities later confirmed that the death toll had risen to 13, with several others critically injured.
Investigations have revealed possible terror links to Jammu and Kashmir. Three doctors — Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganai, and Dr Shaheen Saeed — have been arrested in connection with the Kashmir-Faridabad-Delhi terror network. Two more individuals, Tariq Ahmed Dar and Umar alias Amir, have also been detained in Kashmir.
The car, reportedly registered under HR26, changed multiple owners before being traced to Tariq from Pulwama. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has now taken over the probe.
