Delhi Police has filed a new FIR to investigate a deeper conspiracy behind the car blast near Red Fort. This follows an earlier FIR transferred to the NIA. The special cell is invoking criminal conspiracy charges and anticipates making arrests shortly. Intelligence sources noted the blast’s intensity from new CCTV footage.

The Delhi Police Crime Branch registered the cases after the UGC and NAAC flagged “major irregularities” during their review of the institution’s functioning.
