Breaking: Amit Shah to Hold a High-Level Meeting As Red Fort Blast Probe Intensifies; Four Detained

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will chair a high-level meeting at the Home Ministry today as investigations into the deadly Red Fort car blast accelerate. Delhi remains on high alert while central and local agencies review leads linking the white i20 to Faridabad and Pulwama. Delhi Police have detained four suspects and conducted searches of nearby hotels; forensic teams continue to comb the parking hotspot and surrounding route map. Officials confirmed CCTV footage shows a lone occupant in the vehicle prior to the explosion and are piecing together the vehicle’s movement. At LNJP and Maulana Azad medical facilities, postmortems and DNA sampling are underway to confirm identities of the deceased. FSL teams are collecting chemical and biological samples, including fragmented remains found distant from the blast site, to determine the explosive signature. Senior officers cautioned against premature conclusions but acknowledged the possibility of a broader network, prompting intensified checks across Delhi and other urban hotspots. Security has been tightened around sensitive zones, including Red Fort and major transit points, while NSG and NIA continue technical and intelligence probes. Authorities say they will share conclusive details once laboratory tests and coordinated enquiries yield definitive results. Families of the missing remain anxious as identification and relief efforts intensify citywide.
