India Nov 11, 2025

Pankaj Sahni, a 22-year-old cab driver from Bihar, lost his life in a suicide bombing near Delhi's Red Fort on Monday.
He was simply dropping off a relative at Old Delhi railway station when the blast hit, killing nine people and injuring 20 others.

Police are using DNA tests to identify all victims

The attack was carried out by Mohammad Umar, a doctor tied to the Faridabad terror module, who set off the bomb after the Faridabad terror module was busted.
Sahni's family last spoke to him just two hours before the explosion; they learned of his death after seeing images of his damaged cab in the news.
Police are now using DNA tests to identify all victims and investigating how the terror plot unfolded.
