New Delhi: New CCTV footage has captured the terrifying moments before and after the car blast near the Red Fort on Monday, November 10, that killed 13 and injured several others.

The CCTV footage from the underground Lal Quila Metro Station shows that the blast was so powerful its shockwaves were felt 40 feet below the ground.

The video clearly captures the floor, shop shutters, and shelves shaking violently right after the explosion. Passengers inside the station are seen panicking and running for safety.

What Happened near the Red Fort on 10\11?

The blast occurred near the Red Fort, killing 13 people and injuring several others, was caused by a white Hyundai i20, which was part of a larger coordinated attack by a terror module.

Investigators have linked the attack to a well-organized terror network that had prepared multiple car bombs for the operation.

The ongoing investigation has revealed that the terror module had planned three car-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs) for the attack. While the first car, the white Hyundai i20, exploded, a second vehicle, a red Ford EcoSport, was recovered from Faridabad on Wednesday. 

A third vehicle remains unaccounted for, and authorities are working to locate it.

The investigation has led to the arrest of eight individuals, including three doctors from Al-Falah University in Haryana. The group is believed to have connections with Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, terrorist organizations operating in the region.

Authorities have also recovered over 2,900 kilograms of explosives, chemicals, and other related materials in the wake of the arrests. 

These findings have led to heightened security measures, with all border areas and police stations placed on high alert as the search for the remaining explosives and the third car continues.
