Red Fort blast: Delhi Police steps in to help victims get insurance

India Dec 04, 2025

After the November 10 explosion near Delhi's Red Fort damaged 26 vehicles, Delhi Police are helping owners—many of them taxi and e-rickshaw drivers—sort out their insurance claims.
They've already sent a full list of affected vehicles to the Ministry of Finance to speed things up and get people their money faster.

Why this matters for those affected

For many drivers, these vehicles were their main source of income, so the blast has been a huge setback—especially for those already juggling EMIs.
The tragedy also took 12 lives and caused fires that spread quickly.
By pushing for faster insurance payouts, the police and government hope to ease some financial stress and help families recover a bit sooner.
