Delhi Car Bomb Suspect Arrested Amid Ongoing Investigation

Breaking News: Delhi Car Bomb Attack Update A man has been arrested in connection with the deadly car bomb attack that killed eight people and wounded 20 others in Delhi last week, authorities announced. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said the car used in the attack, which the government has termed a "terrorist incident," was registered in the arrested suspect's name. The suspect, a resident of Indian-administered Kashmir, is accused of conspiring with the alleged suicide bomber. The explosion occurred on Monday evening at 18:52 local time (13:22 GMT) near a metro station close to the Red Fort, one of Delhi's most high-profile landmarks. According to the NIA, the car, a white Hyundai i20, stopped at a busy traffic signal before exploding. Home Minister Shah confirmed the incident within hours, stating that the explosion had taken place in the white Hyundai i20. The immediate impact of the blast was severe, with eight people killed and 20 others wounded. The NIA has since interrogated 73 witnesses, including people injured in the blast, and seized another vehicle allegedly belonging to the suicide bomber for examination. The Delhi car bomb attack marks the first such explosion in the heavily guarded city since 2011. The incident has raised concerns about security measures in place to protect the city's high-profile landmarks. As the investigation continues, the NIA will likely provide further updates on the case. The arrested suspect will be taken into custody and will face charges related to the attack. The government has vowed to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of the city's residents.
