The explosion, which occurred around 7 pm on Monday near the Subhash Marg traffic signal close to the Red Fort, involved a slow-moving Hyundai i20 car and caused damage to several nearby vehicles.

The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday expressed its profound grief over the loss of lives in the terrorist incident involving a car explosion near the Red Fort in Delhi on Monday evening.

The Cabinet observed two minutes' silence in honour of the innocent lives lost. The Cabinet adopted a resolution and unequivocally condemned the "dastardly and cowardly act" that has led to the loss of innocent lives and reiterated India's commitment to a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism.

It directed that the investigation into the terror incident be pursued with the utmost urgency and professionalism so that the perpetrators and their collaborators are brought to justice.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) has constituted a "dedicated and comprehensive" investigation team to probe the recent Delhi car blast incident, a terrorist attack executed by a Jaish-e-Mohammad module unearthed by Indian agencies, top sources said.

The team will operate under the supervision of senior officers, including those of the rank of Superintendent of Police and above, ensuring a coordinated and in-depth investigation into the case.

This is so sad. My cousin works near Red Fort area and was there just an hour before the blast. When will this stop? 😔 We need stronger security measures in crowded areas.

While I appreciate the international support, I hope our government also focuses on better intelligence gathering. These attacks keep happening despite all the security apparatus. Just my two cents.

Jaish-e-Mohammad again! When will Pakistan be held accountable for sheltering these terror groups? Enough is enough. Strong action needed.
