A recent explosion near Delhi's Red Fort, also known as Lal Qila, has left the city in shock. This historic monument, built in the 17th century, is a symbol of India's independence and a popular tourist spot. The area is usually bustling with activity, but last week, it was the scene of a devastating attack.

The explosion happened around 6:42 p. m. local time when a slow-moving vehicle stopped at a traffic light. The blast killed at least 10 people and injured more than 30. It was a rare and tragic event for Delhi, a city of over 30 million people.

Investigators have been working hard to find out what happened. They have arrested a man from Indian-administered Kashmir. The car used in the attack was registered in his name. They also identified the alleged suicide bomber, who was from the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. He worked as an assistant professor at Al Falah University in Faridabad.

The university has said that the alleged attackers were only connected to them through their jobs. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has interviewed over 70 witnesses and is still looking for more information.

The explosion caused a lot of damage. Six vehicles and three autorickshaws were set on fire. Emergency crews arrived at the scene after receiving a call at 6:55 p. m. and managed to put out the fire. The survivors were taken to a nearby hospital.

This event has raised many questions. Why did this happen? Who was involved? What can be done to prevent such incidents in the future? It's important to think critically about these issues and not just accept the information given.
