Indian authorities have imposed tight security measures across New Delhi following a fatal car explosion near the historic Red Fort on November 10, 2025. At least 13 people were killed and 20 others injured in the blast that occurred during evening hours, sending shockwaves through the capital.
Immediate Response and Investigation
Police established multiple roadblocks within hours of the incident, cordoning off the Mughal-era monument for three days as forensic teams began evidence collection. A CGTN stringer at the scene reported heightened security checks disrupting traffic patterns in central Delhi.
Tourist Impact and Security Concerns
The closure of the 17th-century Red Fort complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has forced cancellation of scheduled cultural events. Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the explosion but stated the investigation remains 'active and ongoing.'
