The remarks come less than 24 hours after a Hyundai i20 car exploded near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station on Monday evening, triggering a powerful blast that damaged multiple vehicles. The Delhi Police, NIA, and NSG are jointly investigating the incident, while one suspect has already been taken into custody, according to reports.
Earlier on Monday night, PM Modi had posted on social media, expressing condolences for the victims and confirming that he had reviewed the situation with Home Minister Amit Shah and top officials.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had visited the blast site and later the LNJP Hospital, where several injured victims are being treated. He reiterated that “all possibilities” are being examined and that CCTV footage, forensic samples, and vehicle data are under detailed scrutiny.
The government has issued a high alert across Delhi, NCR, and Uttar Pradesh, tightening security at major metro stations, airports, and public places.
