PM Modi reached the national capital on Wednesday afternoon after concluding his two-day visit to Bhutan. After landing, he went straight to LNJP Hospital, where he met and interacted with the injured and wished them speedy recovery.
Doctors and senior officials also informed the Prime Minister about the condition of the patients and the ongoing treatment.
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his remarks at Changlimthang Ground in Thimphu assured action against the conspirators behind the deadly car blast in Delhi. He said Indian agencies would get to the bottom of the conspiracy and assured that those behind the blast “will not be spared”.
He said, “Today, I have come here with a very heavy heart. The horrific incident that took place in Delhi yesterday evening has deeply saddened everyone. I understand the grief of the affected families. Today the entire nation stands with them. I was in touch with all the agencies investigating this incident throughout last night… Our agencies will get to the bottom of this conspiracy. The conspirators behind this will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice.”
Meanwhile, earlier in the day, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) formed a special team of 10 officers to investigate the blast near Delhi’s Red Fort metro station.
Sources said the 10-member special team will be led by NIA ADG Vijay Sakhare and will include one IG, two DIGs, three SPs and the rest DSP level officers.
The blast occurred on the evening of November 10 when a Haryana-registered car parked near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort metro station exploded, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens.
Delhi Police sources said over 1,000 CCTV footage clips are being scanned by the investigating agencies amid suspicion that the car blast could have been a suicide attack aimed at causing maximum damage.
High alert has been issued in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Mumbai and security has been increased in crowded public places and around religious places.
