The investigating agency is working in coordination with central and state agencies to unravel the conspiracy and the individuals behind the deadly attack.
The investigation follows a blast near the iconic Red Fort blast occurred on November 10, 2025, when a car packed with explosives detonated near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station in central Delhi. The explosion killed 11 people and left several injured, triggering chaos in the busy area adjoining the historic monument.
Earlier in the day, the National Investigation Agency, in close coordination with Jammu and Kashmir Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, conducted an extensive joint search operation in the dense Mattan forest area of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district as part of its ongoing investigation into the devastating November 10 bomb blast.
