Delhi Blast LIVE Updates: CM Rekha Gupta Announces Grants For Victims; Arrests In Faridabad University

An initial assessment of the blast site near the Red Fort in Delhi indicated the suspects may have panicked and made a mistake while carrying the explosives, top intelligence sources told NDTV today.

The raids on terror suspects across the country for the most part of the day on Monday, and the recovery of 2,900 kg of chemical used in bomb-making in Haryana's Faridabad may have triggered a panic situation for the suspects and compelled them to relocate, the sources said.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced a compensation for victims of the blast near Red Fort. The families of those who lost their lives will be given Rs 10 lakh, permanently disabled individuals will receive Rs 5 lakh, and those seriously injured will be provided Rs 2 lakh.

"The tragic incident that occurred in Delhi has 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. The Government of Delhi stands firmly with every affected family, and we have taken a compassionate decision for immediate relief," she said.

As per reports, 12 have died in the incident and over 20 injured.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation informed that the Red Fort or Lal Quila Metro station will remain shut on Nov. 12 as well because of security reasons. All the other stations will remain functional.

Investigation agencies have left the Al-Falah University after completing the investigation.
