{ "title": "Delhi on High Alert: Red Fort Blast Triggers Massive Manhunt and Security Clampdown", "article": "A devastating car blast near Delhi's Red Fort on Monday evening has left the city on high alert, with at least 10 people killed and 20 injured. The explosion occurred at a traffic signal near the Lal Quila metro station, gutting several vehicles and shattering windows of nearby cars. Investigations have identified Umar Nabi, a doctor from Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama, as the suspected driver of the I-20 car used in the blast. Nabi's alleged links to a terror module busted in nearby Faridabad have raised concerns, and security agencies are probing all angles, including a possible suicide attack. In response to the blast, security has been heightened across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), with increased surveillance and police presence in key areas like Mandi House. All border points, including the Ghazipur Border between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, are being closely monitored, with vehicles being checked thoroughly. Several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Bihar, have also been put on high alert as authorities scramble to prevent any further incidents. The Jammu and Kashmir Police have taken a DNA sample from Nabi's mother to establish his identity and potential connections to the terror module. The police investigation suggests that the blast may have been an unintended consequence of a desperate attempt to evade security raids, which were conducted in multiple locations across Delhi-NCR and Pulwama. However, officials are exploring all possibilities, including a possible suicide bomber attack, to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the blast."
