The national capital Delhi once again plunged into terror on Monday evening. On November 10, at 6:52 pm, there was a loud explosion near Lal Qila Metro Station. The echo of the explosion was heard far and wide and there was chaos on the spot. Police have so far confirmed the death of 8 people and 20 injured. The injured have been admitted to Lok Nayak Jayaprakash (LNJP) Hospital, many of whom are said to be in critical condition. Home Minister Amit Shah also reached the hospital and inquired about the condition of the injured, as well as took a report on the situation from the officials.

Eyewitnesses said that the scene of
the explosion was so great that 5-6 cars parked nearby were destroyed. According to eyewitnesses, there was a sudden explosion near the Echo van. The windows of nearby shops and vehicles were broken. Police have found indications of high intensity blast in initial investigation. So far, there has been no official statement about the cause of the explosion and those responsible.
According to sources with prior warning and suspected terrorist connections
, Jammu and Kashmir and Faridabad police seized 2,900 kg of explosives, weapons and ammunition in a joint operation on Monday morning. The operation took place during the busting of inter-state terror networks linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH). Now the big question before the investigating agencies is whether the Lal Qila blast is connected with the same seizure? Is the Delhi blast a sequel to the same network whose roots were exposed in Jammu and Faridabad this morning? NIA and Delhi Police have not given any official comment on this yet, but both the agencies are conducting a thorough investigation from every angle.
