CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Political tensions have escalated following a blast near Delhi’s historic Red Fort, with opposition parties demanding a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident. The explosion, which occurred late last night, caused panic in the area though no casualties were reported. Security agencies and forensic teams rushed to the site to assess the damage and collect evidence.
The Delhi Police have initiated an inquiry to determine the cause and motive behind the blast, stating that all possible angles—including sabotage or a security breach—are being examined. Opposition leaders criticized the government’s handling of security around key national monuments, calling the event a serious lapse that requires immediate accountability. Several leaders have urged the Home Ministry to order a high-level probe and ensure that the findings are made public.
Meanwhile, the National Security Guard (NSG) and Intelligence Bureau are assisting in the investigation. The Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site and symbol of India’s sovereignty, has been placed under heightened surveillance. Authorities are also reviewing CCTV footage and tightening perimeter checks around major landmarks. The incident has reignited debates over national security preparedness and the effectiveness of existing intelligence mechanisms in preventing such threats.
