🚨 Delhi Red Fort Blast LIVE: Massive Explosion Near Lal Qila Metro Station Rocks Capital
Kolkata, Nov 11 (Digital Preeyam News – Top India News):
A powerful explosion near Delhi’s historic Red Fort left at least nine people dead and over 18 injured on Monday evening, sending shockwaves across the national capital. The blast, which occurred in a Hyundai i20 car near Gate No. 1 of Lal Qila Metro Station, has led to widespread panic and heightened security across multiple states.
According to initial reports, the high-intensity blast occurred around 6:50 pm, engulfing nearby vehicles in flames and causing severe damage to surrounding property. The Delhi Police and fire department swiftly rushed to the spot, deploying 20 fire tenders to douse the fire as plumes of thick smoke covered the area.

🧩 Delhi Red Fort Blast: What We Know So Far
The explosion’s exact cause remains unclear. However, forensic experts and National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials have joined the probe to determine whether the blast was caused by explosives or a mechanical malfunction.
Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of a terror link, especially after Delhi Police busted a terror module earlier the same day, recovering nearly 2,900 kg of explosives. The arrested individuals are believed to have ties with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH).
