How the Incident Happened
The explosion took place near the Red Fort in central Delhi, an area that usually sees heavy traffic and tourists. The white car suddenly caught fire and exploded, creating panic among people nearby. Fire officials, police, and forensic teams rushed to the spot. The blast completely destroyed the car, and the body inside was burnt beyond recognition.
