Explosion near Red Fort in New Delhi Kills 8, Blast Near Crowded Chandni Chowk

New Delhi | Red Fort | Explosion | Blast Eight persons were killed and around two dozen people injured in an explosion in a “slow-moving” car near the iconic Red Fort in the national capital, as investigators looked for clues to ascertain whether the blast has any terror links. Panic and chaos reigned the crowded locality that is near the Chandni Chowk market and Jama Masjid as the car went on flames. The explosion was so powerful that it shattered windows of vehicles parked metres away while the sound of the blast was heard at ITO, which is 4 km away from the spot. Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha told reporters that the incident took place when a “slow-moving” car with passengers moving towards the traffic signal exploded at 6:52 PM. When asked whether it was a terror strike, Golcha said they were “examining” the nature of the explosion. Officials said the incident near Gate No 1 of the Red Fort Metro station led to other four-wheelers and rickshaws catching fire in which several people got injured and rushed to nearby Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital where at least eight people were declared dead. Twenty-four people were injured. Home Minister Amit Shah briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the incident besides speaking to Golcha and other top anti-terror unit officials in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and National Security Guards (NSG), which has the expertise in post-blast examination. Delhi Police’s anti-terror unit Special Cell, forensic unit, dog squad, NIA and NSG personnel rushed to the spot. Around a dozen fire tenders were rushed to the spot with officials saying at least 20 vehicles were damaged in the incident. Immediately after the blast, Delhi was put on high alert even as police remained tight-lipped about the nature of the explosion. The explosion came hours after huge quantities of ammonium nitrate were recovered from Faridabad, a satellite town of Delhi. Surveillance has been enhanced at Delhi's border with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh as well as at railway stations, bus stations and Delhi Metro premises among other vital installations. #redfort #delhinews #delhi #delhiblast ------------ Liked the video?
