🚨 Red Fort Blast Update: FIR under UAPA — Delhi on High Alert after 12 Killed in Explosion

Delhi Police have filed an FIR under the UAPA, Explosives Act, and relevant BNS sections after the Red Fort blast that killed 12 people and injured many on Monday evening. The explosion occurred near Gate No. 1 of Lal Quila Metro, ripping through a Hyundai i20, setting vehicles ablaze, and causing chaos in the crowded area.

Raids are underway across Delhi-NCR, and the capital is on high alert with tight security at airports, stations, and borders. The car owner, Md Salman, has been detained, and police are tracing its subsequent buyers.

Investigators suspect a terror link but await forensic results to confirm. The blast came a day before Bihar’s second-phase polls, sparking speculation about its timing. A recent JeM-linked module bust is also being probed for possible connections.
