Modi-on-Delhi-Blast
Prime Minister vows swift justice as investigation into Red Fort-area explosion intensifies
Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the deadly explosion near Delhi’s historic Red Fort and vowed that “those behind the attack will not be spared,” promising a full, rapid probe and justice for victims. Modi made the assurance while on an official visit to Bhutan and said Indian agencies were working to uncover the full conspiracy.
The blast — which occurred in a crowded Old Delhi area near the Red Fort and nearby metro access points — killed and injured multiple people and caused widespread shock across the capital. Forensic teams, Delhi Police and national agencies moved quickly to secure the scene, collect evidence and review CCTV footage from surrounding lanes. Officials have described the incident as deliberate and are treating the matter under stringent anti-terror provisions.
Central agencies including the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Delhi Police have been mobilised; the Ministry of Home Affairs has signalled that the probe will be led at the highest level as investigators track the vehicle, origin of explosives and any wider network behind the attack. Security was stepped up across Delhi and neighbouring states as authorities widened checks and carried out follow-up searches.
Senior ministers and defence officials echoed the PM’s stance, promising a swift, transparent investigation and noting that findings would be shared as they emerge. The Prime Minister expressed grief for the families of the deceased and assured them of the government’s support. Authorities have appealed for calm, urged the public not to share unverified information, and asked witnesses to cooperate with investigators.
