The investigation into the Red Fort blast that killed 12 people has been handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), officials said on Tuesday. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is chairing another high-level security review meeting to assess the situation.

Sources said Delhi Police registered an FIR under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Explosives Act, as preliminary findings link the incident to the Faridabad terror module.

In Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama, the father of the main suspect, Umar Mohammad, has been detained for questioning, while his mother has been called for a DNA test to confirm the suspect’s identity.

Umar Mohammad, a doctor from Pulwama, is believed to have been driving the Hyundai i20 that exploded near the Red Fort Metro Station on Monday evening. Security remains on high alert across Delhi, with intensified checking at all borders, metro stations, and public places.
