Probe underway; NIA joins investigation

Central agencies, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA), have joined the probe amid strong indications that the incident was a planned terror attack.
Initial findings suggest that the car explosion was not a typical suicide bombing but may have been triggered prematurely in panic by the suspect. Security agencies have launched raids across multiple locations linked to terror networks, recovering significant quantities of explosives in Faridabad, Saharanpur, Pulwama, and other regions.

Investigators believe the suspect acted hastily under mounting pressure.

Delhi CM announces relief and support

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced an ex-gratia of ₹10 lakh for the families of those killed in the blast.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Chief Minister said the tragedy had “left the entire city in shock.”

“In this hour of difficulty, the Government of Delhi extends its deepest condolences to all those families who have lost their loved ones and to those who have been injured in this incident,” she wrote, adding that the government stands firmly with every affected family.

“Our government will take responsibility for the proper and quality treatment of the injured. Peace and security in Delhi remain our utmost priority,” Gupta added.

City on high alert

Authorities have increased security across the capital, particularly around high-footfall areas and tourist zones. The administration has stated it is “working with full vigilance” and remains committed to supporting all affected individuals and their families.
