NEW DELHI, Nov 11 — Indian police are probing a deadly car blast in the capital Delhi under a law used to fight “terrorism”, an officer said today, as forensic experts sought evidence to establish the cause of the first such blast in the city in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

The law, called the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, is India’s main anti-terrorism law. It is used to investigate and prosecute acts related to “terrorism” and activities that threaten the sovereignty and integrity of the country.<\/p>\n

The explosion near the historic Red Fort yesterday evening killed at least eight people and injured 20, a rare occurrence in recent years in the heavily guarded city of more than 30 million people. Several states and key facilities across the country were placed on high alert.<\/p>\n

Search for evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deputy Commissioner of Police Raja Banthia said that Delhi police had registered a case under the anti-terrorism law as well as the explosives act and other criminal laws.<\/p>\n

“Investigation is at a preliminary stage and any comment on it will be too premature,” Banthia told reporters.<\/p>\n

Near the site of the blast in the city’s old quarters, a busy market and tourist area, most shops that shut soon after the explosion were yet to open in the early hours of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Forensic experts were seen scouring the site of the blast, which has been sealed since last night and traffic restrictions imposed in the area.<\/p>\n

Police said a slow-moving car which stopped at a traffic signal exploded just before 7pm (1330 GMT). Nearby vehicles were also badly damaged.<\/p>\n

The explosion left behind mangled bodies and the wreckage of several cars on a congested street near a metro station in the old quarter of Delhi.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate information on the occupants of the car, who were presumed to have been killed. Police said they were tracing the owner of the car.<\/p>\n

Federal Home Minister Amit Shah said yesterday “all angles” were being investigated and security agencies would come to a conclusion soon.<\/p>\n

Relatives of the victims gathered outside the nearby Lok Nayak hospital to identify the bodies of their loved ones.<\/p>\n

“We at least know that my cousin is here, whether he is injured or not or the extent of his injury, we don’t know anything,” said a distressed relative who did not want to be named.<\/p>\n

Modi goes to Bhutan<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Red Fort, known locally as Lal Qila, is a sprawling, 17th-century Mughal-era edifice melding Persian and Indian architectural styles, and is visited by tourists throughout the year.<\/p>\n

The prime minister also addresses the nation from the fort’s ramparts every year on August 15, India’s independence day.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew out to Bhutan this morning on a scheduled visit to the Himalayan neighbour.<\/p>\n

In April, Modi cut short a visit to Saudi Arabia and returned home after 26 men were killed in an attack on Hindu tourists in the Jammu and Kashmir territory.<\/p>\n

New Delhi blamed that attack on what it called Islamist “terrorists” backed by Pakistan, a charge denied by Islamabad. The crisis led to the worst military conflict between the nuclear-armed rivals in decades before they agreed to a ceasefire after four days. — Reuters<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
