New Delhi: Following the blast near the Red Fort metro station in Delhi, security has been tightened in the national capital, with the police focusing on increased safety.
Amid such a scenario, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said on Thursday that the Lal Quila metro station will remain closed till further notice as part of security measures taken in the city after the terrorist attack. Notably, security agencies are probing into the blast near the Red Fort. The blast, which took place on Monday evening, killed 12 people and left several injured.
The DMRC took to X and announced, "Lal Quila Metro Station will remain closed till further notice due to security reasons." The area around the historic Mughal monument has been cordoned off, with police and forensic teams conducting searches to gather evidence.
Meanwhile, DNA test reports have allegedly revealed that Dr Umar Nabi, a 32-year-old doctor and suspected member of a terror module linked to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), was driving the i20 car that was used in the Red Fort blast.
According to sources, his DNA sample matched 100 per cent with the DNA of his mother and brother. Investigating agencies had matched Umar's mother's DNA samples with the DNA samples of bones and teeth found in the i20 car.
Centre on Wednesday condemned the car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10. The government called it a 'heinous terrorist incident' and promised to bring the criminals and their aides to justice. In a resolution, the Union Cabinet stated, "The country has witnessed a heinous terror incident, perpetrated by anti-national forces, through a car explosion near the Red Fort on the evening of 10 November 2025. The explosion resulted in multiple fatalities and caused injuries to several others."
