Investigators believe an explosion that killed 13 people maybe linked to group operating in the disputed region
Police have carried out raids and made several arrests across the Indian region of Kashmir in the aftermath of a car explosion in Delhi that left 13 people dead.
On Wednesday, the Indian government confirmed it was treating the blast as a “terror incident” perpetrated by “anti-national forces”. The explosion took place outside one of India’s most significant monuments during rush hour on Monday evening.
Initially, eight people were confirmed dead, but the figure had risen to 13 by Friday as more victims succumbed to their injuries. It is one of the deadliest terror attacks to target India’s capital in more than a decade.
Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister, described the incident as a “conspiracy”, while his home minister, Amit Shah, pledged to “hunt down each and every culprit behind this incident”.
