Police File FIR In Delhi Blast

The Delhi Police has filed a First Information Report (FIR) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Explosives Act in connection with the blast. The case, registered at Kotwali police station, invokes Sections 16 and 18 of the UAPA, which pertain to punishment and conspiracy for terrorist acts, along with relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

According to investigators, the explosion occurred when a slow-moving car halted at a traffic signal near the Red Fort metro station. The high-intensity blast destroyed the vehicle, triggered a fire, and damaged several nearby cars. Forensic teams and bomb disposal experts have collected samples from the scene for analysis.

Meanwhile, the national capital remains on high alert. Security has been tightened across key locations, including the Indira Gandhi International Airport, railway stations, and bus terminals. Raids are underway at multiple locations to trace those responsible.
