On Monday, November 10, 2025, a devastating car explosion near the historic Red Fort in New Delhi, India, resulted in the deaths of at least eight people and left several others injured. The blast, believed to have originated from a Hyundai i20 stopped at a traffic signal, triggered a fire that engulfed multiple nearby vehicles and rickshaws, leaving a scene of shattered windows, twisted metal, and mangled bodies. While the exact cause remains under investigation, senior police officials confirmed that a case has been registered under anti-terrorism laws, indicating a potential terror angle. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently in Bhutan, condemned the act, stating that investigators would 'get to the bottom of this conspiracy' and that 'the conspirators won’t be spared.' Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed that the National Investigation Agency, India’s federal anti-terrorism body, is leading the probe, exploring 'all angles' and utilizing camera footage. Following the incident, major train stations across India, including in Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh, have been placed on security alert.
