Delhi Red Fort Car Blast 

1. Intelligence agencies revealed a larger terror conspiracy linked to the deadly Red Fort car blast that killed 13 people, indicating plans to prepare two old vehicles with explosives for coordinated attacks at multiple locations.

2. Investigators found that the accused had already begun modifying a Hyundai i20 and a Ford EcoSport for potential use in future explosions.

3. It later emerged that two additional old vehicles were also being readied to be fitted with explosives as part of the broader serial blast plan.

4. Around eight suspects were allegedly involved in the plot, divided into pairs to target four different cities with coordinated explosions.
