Car explosion near Delhi’s historic landmark sparks terror probe
A few hours before the blast, a Reddit post claimed “something’s happening in Delhi…”
On Monday evening (10 November 2025), a vehicle exploded near the Red Fort metro station in Delhi. At least eight people were killed and more than 20 injured, according to officials. Reuters

In a striking coincidence, a post on the social-media platform Reddit allegedly made by a student around 4 pm claimed:
“I’m returning home from school … near the Red Fort metro station there are so many police and army personnel … normally I don’t see this many … What is happening today?”
Roughly three hours later the explosion occurred. The post has been widely circulated and discussed on social-media platforms.
