Amit Shah Orders Swift Action in Delhi Blast Probe, PM Modi Assures Justice for Victims
New Delhi | November 11 (TheTrendingPeople.com) — Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday chaired a series of high-level meetings with top officials from India’s key investigative and intelligence agencies following the Red Fort car blast that claimed at least eight lives and injured several others in the heart of the national capital. The Home Minister has directed agencies to swiftly track down every individual involved in the attack and ensure that justice is served without delay.
Amit Shah Directs Agencies to “Hunt Down Every Culprit”
Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the Home Minister said,
“Chaired review meetings on the Delhi car blast with the senior officials. Instructed them to hunt down each and every culprit behind this incident. Everyone involved in this act will face the full wrath of our agencies.”
Amit Shah held a comprehensive review of the security situation, first receiving detailed briefings from the Intelligence Bureau (IB), Delhi Police, and the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Later, he chaired a coordination meeting at his residence to assess ongoing multi-state search operations and intelligence inputs related to the case.
The meeting was attended by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, IB Director Tapan Kumar Deka, Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha, and NIA Director General Sadanand Vasant Date. Jammu and Kashmir DGP Nalin Prabhat joined the meeting virtually.
Multi-Agency Task Force Formed for Probe
Following the review, the Home Minister approved the creation of a special multi-agency task force comprising more than 500 personnel to expedite the investigation. Security has been significantly tightened across Delhi-NCR, with NSG commandos deployed at critical installations including metro stations, government buildings, and major tourist hubs.
Sources in the Delhi Police revealed that over 1,000 CCTV footage clips from the Red Fort area and surrounding localities are being scrutinized to track the movements of suspicious vehicles and individuals before and after the explosion.
According to officials, dump data from all mobile phones active around the Red Fort at the time of the blast is being retrieved and analyzed. Investigators believe that communication patterns and call records extracted from the data could provide crucial leads to uncover the network behind the attack.
Possible Suicide Attack Under Investigation
Preliminary findings indicate that the blast may have been a suicide attack, aimed at causing maximum destruction near one of Delhi’s most iconic heritage sites. The car involved, a Haryana-registered Hyundai i20, exploded near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station on Monday evening.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud explosion that triggered panic among commuters and passersby. The blast left at least eight people dead and dozens injured, with rescue teams and bomb disposal units reaching the site within minutes.
The explosion site has been cordoned off, and forensic experts from the National Bomb Data Centre (NBDC) are assisting the NIA and Delhi Police’s Special Cell in analyzing residue samples to determine the nature of the explosives used.
PM Modi: “The Conspirators Will Not Be Spared”
Speaking at a public event in Thimphu, Bhutan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to bringing the perpetrators to justice.
“Today, I come here with a very heavy heart. The horrific incident that took place in Delhi yesterday evening has deeply saddened everyone. I understand the grief of the affected families. Today, the entire nation stands with them,” the Prime Minister said.
He further added,
“I was in touch with all the agencies investigating this incident throughout last night. Our agencies will get to the bottom of this conspiracy. The conspirators behind this will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice.”
The Prime Minister’s statement has been widely shared on social media, with citizens expressing solidarity with the victims and calling for stronger counter-terrorism measures.
High Alert Issued Across Multiple States
Following the explosion, the Union Home Ministry has issued a high alert in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Mumbai, warning state police forces to maintain heightened vigilance at public places, transportation hubs, and religious sites.
Security has been beefed up in and around airports, metro stations, malls, and crowded markets, with special teams conducting random checks and intensified surveillance using drone cameras.
Investigative agencies have also begun monitoring social media platforms for suspicious activity and possible claims of responsibility for the attack. As of now, no terror group has claimed involvement.
Political Reactions: BJP Targets Opposition
The tragic incident has also sparked a political war of words. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused the Congress and its allies of politicizing a national tragedy.
BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya took to X, stating,
“If being shameless and working against national interest had a face, it would look exactly like the Congress.”
He further criticized the Opposition for what he described as a lack of unity in moments of national crisis:
“The problem with our Opposition and the loony far-Left ecosystem is that they simply do not know how to stand with the country in times of need.”
So far, Opposition leaders have demanded transparency from the government and urged for a thorough, impartial investigation.
Investigation in Full Swing
Senior officials confirmed that NIA, IB, and Delhi Police Special Cell are working closely to piece together intelligence leads. The Home Minister has directed the agencies to “leave no stone unturned” in identifying and capturing the perpetrators.
Investigators are also probing potential links to previous terror networks operating in northern India and have requested cooperation from neighboring states to track cross-border communication trails.
A preliminary report from the forensic team is expected to be submitted to the Home Ministry within the next 48 hours.
