Indian crime scene investigators were scouring through the wreckage of a car on Tuesday, November 11, that exploded hours earlier in the heart of the capital, killing at least eight people. Police have not given details on the cause of the explosion, which also left at least 19 people injured, when intense flames ripped through other vehicles near the landmark Red Fort in the crowded Old Delhi quarter of the city.
Home Minister Amit Shah told reporters late Monday that the security forces were "keeping all angles open," adding it was "very difficult to say what caused the incident" until forensic samples had been analyzed.
India's defense minister said that those responsible for a deadly car explosion would face justice. "The country's leading investigative agencies are conducting a swift and thorough inquiry into the incident – findings of the investigation will soon be made public," Rajnath Singh told a conference in New Delhi after Monday's blast. "I want to firmly assure the nation that those responsible for this tragedy will be brought to justice and will not be spared under any circumstances."
