As New Delhi remains on high alert in the aftermath of the 10/11 car blast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (November 11, 2025) said that the “conspirators” behind the car blast near Red Fort that killed around a dozen people and injured several others “will not be spared” and that “all those responsible will be brought to justice.”
Modi’s remarks came during his two-day visit to Bhutan, even as Delhi and other parts of the country remain on heightened alert following the explosion in a moving Hyundai i20 on Monday evening. The Prime Minister underlined that he was continuously monitoring the situation.
Hours after Jammu and Kashmir Police recovered nearly 3,000 kg of explosives from two residential buildings in Haryana’s Faridabad, national capital Delhi was rocked by a massive car blast near the Red Fort Metro Station. The bomb blast took place in a Hyundai i20 car at 6:52 pm, leaving bodies and damaged cars scattered in the busy area.
