Indian security agencies believe the blast near Delhi’s Red Fort was the result of an accidental explosion triggered by a panicked bomber. Preliminary investigations suggest the suspect was attempting to relocate or dispose of an incomplete improvised explosive device (IED) when it detonated. Officials noted the absence of a crater or projectiles, indicating that the device did not possess full explosive capability. The blast occurred while the vehicle was still in motion, reinforcing the theory that the explosion was unintentional.

The recent car blast near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort metro station was part of a larger terror conspiracy targeting the symbolic ‘Hindustan Ka Dil’, or ‘Heart of India’. Security agencies have revealed that terrorists planned coordinated attacks intended to destabilize the national capital and instill widespread fear. 


Delhi Blast: Terror Attack in Delhi Aimed at ‘Hindustan Ka Dil’

Top official sources have said that a Faridabad-based sleeper module that was activated by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) after Operation Sindoor has been busted. Following the Indian military campaign targeting terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), security agencies have been on high alert for any possible revenge attack by the terror group after the elimination of family members of Masood Azhar during air strikes in Bahawalpur, the outfit’s headquarters.&nbsp;On Monday (Nov 10), a massive blast in a Hyundai i20 rocked Delhi, near the iconic Red Fort, killing at least eight people and injuring 20 others.

The cops seized 360 kgs of inflammable material, possibly ammonium nitrate, and ammunition from Faridabad, Haryana.&nbsp;The sources added that the module’s core included three highly radicalised doctors, supported by several Over Ground Workers (OGWs) who helped procure supplies and logistics. Reportedly, the terror plot aimed to strike “Hindustan ka Dil” (the heart of India) through a series of bomb blasts.&nbsp;However, their attempt was foiled after the arrest of two of the doctors by security agencies, which had been tracking their revenge plot for months. The CCTV footage and forensic evidence from the Delhi blast suggest that the third member allegedly went ahead with the Red Fort blast, realising the module was compromised.&nbsp;As agencies continue to interrogate the arrested OGWs, they believe that all remaining connections related to the module will be revealed soon.&nbsp;The driver of the car, identified as Dr Umar Nabi, had reportedly purchased the Hyundai i20 on October 29.

Delhi Red Fort blast a revenge for India’s Operation Sindoor against Pakistani terrorists? What we know

Delhi Blast: A powerful car explosion near Delhi's iconic Red Fort Metro Station on November 10, 2025, killed at least eight people and injured several others, triggering widespread panic. The blast occurred around 6:52 PM at a traffic signal when a slow-moving Hyundai i20 exploded, setting nearby vehicles on fire. Security has been ramped up across multiple states, with officials emphasizing vigilance and coordination to prevent further incidents.


Delhi Blast: India on High Alert, Security Heightened Across States

Issuing a direct statement after the car blast near Delhi's iconic Red Fort, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (Nov 11) said that those responsible for the deadly blast “will not be spared” and “will be brought to justice”. The Prime Minister who is on a visit to Bhutan called the incident horrific and added that the investigative agencies will find out the complete conspiracy behind it. While the PM spoke in Hindi during an event in Bhutan, he made sure to switch to English while declaring his message against the attack. Warning Red Fort attack conspirators in English, the PM said, "The conspirators behind this will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice."&nbsp;&nbsp;This is similar to PM Modi's first reaction after the Pahalgam terror attack in April 22 this year. Switching to English in Bihar's Madhubani, PM had then warned that India will “identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers.” This was followed by Operation Sindoor in May, where India attacked terror infrastructure inside Pakistan and killed at least 100 terrorists.&nbsp;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">The horrific blast in Delhi last evening has deeply pained everyone. India stands with those who have suffered.

On Nov 11, PM Modi began his speech saying, “Today, I come here with a very heavy heart. The horrific incident that took place in Delhi yesterday evening has deeply saddened everyone. I understand the grief of the affected families. The entire nation stands with them today." Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also issued a stern warning.

<h2>What we know so far in the case?</h2>Delhi Police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) invoking terrorism and the Explosives Act. The FIR includes Sections 16 and 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), which deal with terrorist acts and the punishment for supporting terrorism, a Delhi Police spokesperson said. Meanwhile, CCTV footage has surfaced in which the suspect is seen. According to news agency ANI, a lone suspect is seen entering and exiting the car parking area. A footage shows the I-20 driver wearing a black mask moments before the blast. Another footage shows him inside the car the car entering the parking lot with the driver’s hand resting on the window, while another image shows him wearing a blue-and-black T-shirt. The owner of the car, identified as Mohd Salman, has been detained by the police. Salman reportedly sold to vehicle to a person in Okhla, who then sold it to a resident of Ambala. The car was then sold to an individual from Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir. The police have detained two individuals in Pulwama for questioning in the matter.

From Bhutan, PM Modi condemned the Red Fort car blast, calling it horrific and vowing that those behind it “will not be spared.” Switching to English, he warned the conspirators of strict action. Drawing parallels to his Pahalgam attack response, Modi said India stands with the victims

Issuing a direct statement after the car blast near Delhi's iconic Red Fort, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (Nov 11) said that those responsible for the deadly blast “will not be spared” and “will be brought to justice”. The Prime Minister who is on a visit to Bhutan called the incident horrific and added that the investigative agencies will find out the complete conspiracy behind it. While the PM spoke in Hindi during an event in Bhutan, he made sure to switch to English while declaring his message against the attack. Warning Red Fort attack conspirators in English, the PM said, "The conspirators behind this will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice." This is similar to PM Modi's first reaction after the Pahalgam terror attack in April 22 this year. Switching to English in Bihar's Madhubani, PM had then warned that India will “identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers.” This was followed by Operation Sindoor in May, where India attacked terror infrastructure inside Pakistan and killed at least 100 terrorists.
