The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday (November 11, 2025) handed over the probe into a blast near the Red Fort to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), sources said.
This is a clear indication that the blast, which has so far claimed 13 lives, is being considered by the government as an act of terror, as the NIA is mandated to probe terror cases only.

"The blast case has been handed over to the NIA," a source said. The decision came hours after Union Home Minister Amit Shah reviewed the security situation in the national capital and other parts of the country following the blast.
Mr. Shah has called another security review meeting on Tuesday (November 11) afternoon.
