Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday (November 10, 2025) urged the government to ensure a “prompt and thorough investigation” into the blast near the Red Fort in Delhi in the evening that killed at least 9 people and left 20 injured, especially given that it occurred in a high-security zone. Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav urged the government to take a free and transparent action to reassure the public.
The explosion occurred around 6.52 p.m. in a slow-moving vehicle that had stopped at a red light outside the Red Fort. The blast triggered a fire that engulfed nearby vehicles, including several commercial taxis.
