In a shocking revelation, never-before-seen footage has emerged showing the moment a powerful blast near Delhi’s Red Fort sent tremors through a nearby metro station located 40 feet underground. The viral video, circulating widely on social media, captures terrified commuters screaming and fleeing as the explosion shakes the station, raising urgent questions about public safety and national security.
Red Fort Blast Video: What the Footage Shows
The CCTV footage, timestamped from the day of the blast, reveals chaos as passengers duck for cover when a deafening explosion rocks the metro station. Lights flicker, dust fills the air, and security personnel rush to evacuate people.
Eyewitnesses described the experience as “like an earthquake.” Rakesh Kumar, a regular commuter, recalled, “The ground shook violently—we feared the roof might collapse.”
Was the Red Fort Blast a National Security Threat?
The explosion occurred dangerously close to the Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a key symbol of India’s sovereignty. While officials initially dismissed it as a “minor gas leak,” the new footage suggests a far more severe impact.
Security experts are demanding answers. Col. Sandeep Sinha (retd.), a former NSG officer, stated, “This wasn’t just a gas leak—the tremors reached deep underground. Was this a terror test?”
The NIA and Delhi Police have reopened the case, with forensic teams analyzing residue for traces of explosives.
Delhi Metro Safety Under Fire
The incident has reignited concerns over metro security in Delhi, one of the world’s busiest transit systems. Underground stations, despite heavy surveillance, may be soft targets for attacks.
A senior DMRC official (anonymous) admitted, “Metro stations are built for fire safety, not bomb blasts. Protocols need urgent upgrades.”
Political Backlash & Public Anger
Opposition leaders accuse the government of a cover-up. Congress’s Shashi Tharoor asked, “Why was this footage hidden? Where’s the high-level probe?” Meanwhile, Home Minister Amit Shah assured Parliament that all angles are being investigated.
Commuters are demanding transparency. Priya Mehta, a student, said, “If a blast can shake a metro station this badly, what stops bigger attacks?”
Key Unanswered Questions
- Was this a one-off incident or part of a larger threat?
- Why were initial reports downplayed?
- Are Delhi’s critical infrastructures truly secure?
As probes continue, the Red Fort blast footage has exposed glaring security gaps—and the public is demanding action.
