Ihe National Investigation Agency (NIA) has constituted a ‘dedicated and comprehensive’ investigation team to probe the recent car blast incident near Delhi's Red Fort.

According to the sources, the blast was a terrorist attack executed by a Jaish-e-Mohammad module unearthed by Indian agencies. The team will function under the supervision of senior officers of the rank of Superintendent of Police and above, ensuring a coordinated and in-depth probe into the case.

The move comes a day after the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) formally handed over the investigation to the NIA, citing a terror angle behind the explosion.

Following the transfer, the NIA promptly registered a case and launched a detailed investigation to trace those responsible and uncover the broader network involved, if any.
