Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha told reporters the blast occurred just before 7 p.m. in a slow-moving vehicle near a traffic signal. "The cause of the explosion is being ascertained," he said.
An eyewitness, Kumar, said the explosion left everyone in shock: "I saw around 18 to 20 people injured in front of me. Some were lying inside cars, others were on fire."
The Red Fort, a 17th-century Mughal-era landmark, is one of India's most visited tourist attractions, drawing both local residents and international travelers.
