#BREAKING: Top Indian Intelligence Sources to @NDTV on Red Fort Bomb Blast after Initial Assessment:
•The explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort was triggered by panic, not intention.
•The suspect’s IED was incomplete and improperly assembled, which limited the impact.
•No crater formation and absence of projectiles indicate the device was not configured for maximum damage.
•Nationwide vigilance and heightened security actions in Delhi–NCR and Faridabad caused the suspect to fear imminent capture.
•In an attempt to relocate or dispose of the explosive, the device accidentally detonated.
•Investigators confirm it was not a suicide mission, but an accidental explosion.
•The vehicle was in motion at the moment of blast, further supporting the accidental detonation theory.
•Intel officials say the IED was far from fully operational, reducing its destructive potential.
•A major attack has been averted, credited to “pan-India alertness and coordinated crackdown” on suspect modules.
