A devastating car blast near the historic Red Fort in Delhi on Monday evening has left 13 people dead and 21 injured. The explosion occurred at 6:52 pm near the Lal Qila Metro Station, sending shockwaves of panic through the crowded area. According to investigators, Dr Umar Un Nabi, a resident of Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir, was likely behind the wheel of the ill-fated Hyundai i20. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the probe, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah directing the agency to submit a report as soon as possible. Video footage has emerged, showing people fleeing in terror as the blast ripped through the area. The footage captures the moment when the explosion sent a wave of panic through the crowded market, with customers and sellers scrambling for safety. The authorities have identified Nabi as being linked to a terror cell, following the recent seizure of a huge cache of explosives in Faridabad. The transfer of the case to the NIA suggests that the government views the explosion as an act of terror, with the agency mandated to investigate such incidents. As the investigation unfolds, the people of Delhi remain shaken by the tragic event. The city is still reeling from the aftermath of the blast, with authorities working tirelessly to piece together the events surrounding the explosion.
