Delhi Red Fort Blast: CCTV Shows Moment Hyundai i20 Exploded Near Lal Qila Metro
A newly released CCTV clip captures the exact moment the Hyundai i20 exploded near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10, instantly going up in flames and sending shockwaves through Old Delhi.
The powerful blast on Monday evening caused widespread panic, claiming at least 13 lives and leaving several others injured. The explosion occurred outside Gate No. 1 of the Lal Qila Metro Station, igniting multiple vehicles in the vicinity.
The CCTV footage clearly shows the busy streets near Gate No. 1, with traffic moving slowly when the white Hyundai i20 suddenly erupts in fire, creating a scene of chaos.
Explosion Triggered in Panic, Not a Suicide Attack
Early investigations suggest that the suspect, Dr Umar Nabi, triggered the explosion in a state of panic, indicating it was not a planned suicide attack. Reports indicate that the crime was committed under intense pressure due to security raids conducted in several key cities.
Authorities also noted that the suspect did not follow typical patterns of suicide attacks, as he did not intentionally collide the car with any structure or target. The Home Ministry handed the case over to the National Investigative Agency (NIA) on Tuesday, citing it as a potential act of terror.
The investigation is ongoing as officials examine whether the blast was an isolated panic-triggered incident or linked to a larger plan.
