At least eight individuals lost their lives, and 30 others were injured in a powerful explosion that detonated near the Red Fort as a slow-moving car passed by. The blast, characterized as high intensity, ignited multiple vehicles and shattered nearby windows.
A powerful explosion took place near the Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi on the evening of November 10, 2025, killing at least eight people and injuring more than twenty others.
The blast occurred around 6:52 pm when a white Hyundai i20 car stopped at a traffic signal near Gate 1 of the metro station.
The explosion set the car ablaze and damaged several nearby vehicles, including auto-rickshaws, while shattering windows in the busy area near Chandni Chowk and the Red Fort. The incident caused panic among locals and tourists in one of Delhi’s most crowded zones.
According to officials, the car was registered in Gurugram and had changed ownership multiple times, prompting police to detain the former owner for questioning.
Investigating agencies suspect the involvement of a terror module and have invoked provisions under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Explosives Act.
Home Minister Amit Shah called a high-level security meeting soon after the blast, and the Red Fort area, including the metro station, was sealed off for investigation.
