Delhi blast: 10 dead, 24 injured; probe handed to top agencies
A Hyundai i20 that had stopped at a red light exploded near Delhi's Red Fort metro station on Monday evening, leaving 10 people dead and 24 injured during peak rush hour.
The blast was powerful enough to destroy the car and damage others nearby, turning a regular evening commute into chaos.
Probe handed to top agencies
Police are investigating the possibility of a terror attack and have filed a case under anti-terror laws.
CCTV shows the car parked near the Red Fort for hours before it exited and later exploded at a red light.
The vehicle's registration led police from an arrested Gurugram man—who says he sold it—to Umar Mohammed, a doctor from Pulwama with alleged terror links.
Top agencies like NIA and NSG are now leading the investigation, while the Supreme Court has offered condolences and promised justice for those affected.
