On Monday evening, November 10, 2025, a white Hyundai i20 packed with explosives detonated near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi, killing 13 people and injuring over 20 others. The blast occurred around 6:52 pm when the slow-moving car halted at a red light near one of Delhi’s busiest and most historic landmarks. The car is believed to have been driven by Dr. Umar Mohammad, a resident of Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, who is suspected to have triggered the explosion in panic following arrests and raids linked to a terror module earlier that day. Initial probes suggest the explosive device was an improvised one, assembled hastily, with ammonium nitrate found as part of the materials. Security agencies, including the National Investigation Agency and the Delhi Police, are treating this as a terrorist act, invoking the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act for investigation.
