New Delhi Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Education Minister Ashish Sood visited the Lok Nayak Hospital on Monday night to meet those injured in the blast, as well as the doctors, to assess the situation.

“The incident of the car explosion near the Red Fort is extremely distressing and alarming. I express my deepest condolences to those who have lost their loved ones in this tragic accident. I pray to God that the injured recover swiftly. Every possible assistance is being ensured for the affected people. Teams from the Delhi Police, NSG, NIA, and FSL are working together to conduct a thorough investigation into the entire matter,” Ms. Gupta said on X before visiting the premier medical facility.

‘Beware of rumours’

“I appeal to all Delhi residents to beware of rumours and maintain peace. Please rely only on official information issued by the police and administration,” she said.

Earlier in the day, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged negligence in security arrangements.
