A significant explosion occurred in a moving vehicle in Delhi on Monday, creating panic in the area near the historic Red Fort. The incident took place on November 10, 2025, and immediately drew attention from security agencies across the capital.
According to police officials who responded to the scene, the explosion happened in a Maruti Suzuki Eeco car that was in motion when the incident occurred. The vehicle sustained substantial damage, appearing completely mangled from the force of the blast.
Police Assessment: Why This Doesn't Appear to be a Bomb Blast
Delhi Police officials have made preliminary assessments that suggest this may not constitute a conventional bomb blast. No crater was found at the spot where the explosion occurred, which is typically present in bomb blast scenarios.
More significantly, authorities confirmed that no pellet or splinter injuries have been reported among any individuals in the vicinity. Such injuries are considered the most common type of harm resulting from bomb explosions, making their absence a crucial factor in the police assessment.
A Delhi Police official told media sources, "We cannot say if it is a bomb blast. The explosion happened in a moving car on the road, and there is no crater at the spot."
Investigation Underway: Forensic Teams Collect Evidence
Forensic science teams have been deployed to the location to gather samples and evidence that might reveal the cause of the explosion. The thorough examination of the wrecked vehicle and surrounding area is expected to provide crucial clues about what triggered the incident.
Initial reports indicated that the car contained two to three occupants at the time of the explosion, though their current condition and identities have not been officially disclosed by authorities.
The area around the Red Fort, being a high-security zone and prominent tourist destination, has been secured by police personnel as the investigation continues to unfold.
