CCTV Footage Of Delhi Red Fort Blast Shows The Moment The i20 Car Exploded | Watch

The new CCTV captures the precise moment a Hyundai i20 driven by Dr. Umar Nabi detonated near the Red Fort Metro Station.

New CCTV footage has provided crucial evidence in the Red Fort blast investigation, confirming that the powerful explosion on November 10, 2025, was triggered from inside the suspect’s vehicle. The visual, retrieved from a nearby traffic surveillance camera, captures the precise moment a Hyundai i20 driven by Dr. Umar Nabi detonated near the Red Fort Metro Station, producing a sudden flash of light described by control room personnel as resembling a “red balloon”.

CCTV Confirms Red Fort Blast Originated Inside Umar’s i20

The explosion, which took place during peak evening traffic at Red Fort Chowk, killed at least 10 people and injured several others. Officials said footage from four CCTV angles provided a step-by-step account of the moments leading up to the blast, conclusively establishing that the detonation originated within the vehicle. Surveillance records also traced the same car passing through the Badarpur toll plaza earlier that morning, confirming Umar’s entry into the capital hours before the attack.

According to senior investigators, the attack appears to have been part of a wider terror plan coordinated by a “white-collar” network of radicalised professionals based in Faridabad. The module is believed to comprise educated individuals—including doctors, researchers, and university faculty—who allegedly maintained ideological and logistical links with extremist handlers in Jammu and Kashmir.

Leads From Shakeel's Phone

Investigators examining the phone of Dr. Muzammil Shakeel, arrested in connection with the Jaish-e-Mohammed-linked terror module, have uncovered significant leads suggesting his repeated visits to Delhi this year were part of a broader operational plan. Forensic analysis of his device revealed photographs of various locations across the capital, which agencies believe may have been potential targets or reconnaissance points.

Sources indicate that Muzammil’s movements are now being mapped in detail to determine whom he met during these visits and whether he was accompanied by others. The presence of location-tagged images and communication logs has prompted agencies to expand the probe into possible sleeper cells or support networks operating within Delhi.
