“Tomorrow morning, we will have a detailed analysis of the blast at the home ministry with senior officers,” Shah told reporters after meeting those injured at the LNJP Hospital here.

The home minister had said that top investigating agencies were probing the blast with full intensity, and will go in-depth into the explosion which took place in a Hyundai i20 car.

A high-intensity explosion ripped through a slow-moving car at a traffic signal near the Red Fort metro station on Monday evening, killing nine people and gutting several vehicles, officials said.
