Meanwhile, fresh details have emerged regarding the Delhi explosion that shook the city around 6:55 PM when a Hyundai i20 car with three occupants stopped near a traffic signal close to the Red Fort. The blast reportedly originated from the rear side of the vehicle, triggering panic in the area.

Senior police officers in Delhi said the identities of the three occupants are yet to be confirmed, but two suspects have been detained for interrogation. Investigators revealed that the material used in the blast was highly inflammable, indicating a planned act.

The entire area has been sealed, and forensic teams have begun collecting evidence. Delhi Police are working in close coordination with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) to establish the motive and probe possible links with other terror modules.
