Security personnel and a member of the forensic team work at the site of an explosion near the historic Red Fort in the old quarters of Delhi,
At least 13 people have been killed and 20 injured in a car blast that took place on Monday night close to the Red Fort in India’s capital, New Delhi.
No cause for the explosion has been given, but police in the Indian capital territory have invoked an “anti-terror” law.
Home Minister Amit Shah says the explosion occurred just before 7pm (13:30 GMT) and is believed to have originated from a Hyundai i20 car that had stopped at a traffic signal.
The blast left mangled bodies and wrecked cars scattered near the site as police and investigators cordoned off the area and pushed back crowds.
