Delhi Red Fort blast: Eight killed, dozens injured; Fadnavis' strong reaction
Car bomb blast near Red Fort shakes capital; Maharashtra CM condemns
New Delhi/Mumbai, November 11, 2025 – Late on Monday evening, i.e. on November 10, at around 7:45 pm, a powerful explosion took place in a car just a few hundred meters from the historic Red Fort in Delhi. Eight people died on the spot in the blast, while more than a dozen civilians were seriously injured. There was a large crowd of tourists in the area at the time of the incident, which created an atmosphere of panic. Police and rescue teams immediately rushed to the spot and the injured were admitted to a nearby hospital.
The intensity of the explosion was such that the remains of the car were scattered far and wide and the surrounding buildings were damaged. Preliminary investigation has revealed that explosives like bombs were kept in the car. A special team of Delhi Police has started an investigation, and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Anti-Terrorism Squad have also reached the spot. A team of forensic experts is working to find out the causes of the blast. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken serious note of the incident and has ordered a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah to tighten security arrangements.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has expressed strong reactions in the wake of this incident. Speaking to the media from Mumbai, Fadnavis said, "This terrorist act in Delhi is highly condemnable. I strongly condemn this attack targeting innocent citizens. The Maharashtra government will fully cooperate with the Delhi Police and the Central government. It is necessary to fight terrorism unitedly. I pray for the speedy recovery of the injured and may the families of the deceased find courage." Fadnavis appealed to the Central government to strengthen the security system across the country to prevent a recurrence of such incidents.
A high level of alert has been issued in Delhi after the blast. Roads in the Red Fort area have been closed, and a large police force has been deployed in the surrounding areas. A sense of terror has spread among tourists and locals, and videos and photos of the incident are going viral on social media. The opposition parties have also condemned the attack, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeting, "Terrorism has no end in any form. The government should immediately find the culprits and punish them severely."
It has come to light that women and children are among the injured. They are undergoing treatment at Delhi's AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospitals. According to doctors, the condition of some of the injured is critical. Evidence from the blast site suggests that there is a suspicion of a terrorist organization, but no organization has officially claimed responsibility.
This incident is being considered a major setback in terms of Delhi's security. In the last few years, such blasts had reduced in the capital, but this incident is a reminder of the threat of terrorism again. Orders have been given to other states, including Maharashtra, to be on high alert. Sources said that due to Fadnavis' reaction, the security arrangements in Maharashtra will be tightened further.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing and more information is expected to come out soon. The police have appealed to the countrymen to maintain peace and stay away from rumours.
