“I was at my stall, selling litti-chokha to customers. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a huge explosion. The umbrella shed on my stall fell…the poster flew away…That was the intensity of the blast,” says A P Yadav, who witnessed the explosion at a traffic signal near Gate No. 1 of Delhi’s Red Fort Metro Station.
The blast, which took place in a slow-moving Hyundai i20 car on Monday evening, has claimed at least 12 lives so far and left over 20 injured. The Delhi Police have invoked UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) sections. The cause of the blast is yet to be ascertained.
