New Delhi: In Bhutan, a day after a car blast has led to the death of 13 people, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today that all those responsible for the car blast in Delhi will be brought to justice.

"I was in contact all night long with all the agencies and key officials related to the case. Discussions were ongoing, and the pieces of information were being put together," Modi said at the Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu on Tuesday (November 11).

"Our agencies will get to the bottom of this conspiracy. The perpetrators behind it will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice," he said.

Modi said that he was deeply distressed at the event and understood the suffering of the families who have suffered this loss.

"We would like to take a moment and pray for the people who sadly lost their lives in Delhi. We'd like to pray for them," Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, the king of Bhutan, said.

It is as yet unknown who is responsible for the explosion near the historic Red Fort on November 10. Union home minister Amit Shah has held a series of meetings since this morning.

He announced on Tuesday afternoon that he had instructed officials to “hunt down each and every culprit behind this incident”.

“Everyone involved in this act will face the full wrath of our agencies,” Shah wrote on X.

The Tribune has quoted and unnamed but "top Delhi police" official as having noted that no splinters or traces of RDX were found at the site of the attack and no craters were formed. These are usual indicators of conventional bomb blasts. This leads to questions on a vast number of reports and unauthorised updates on who could have perpetrated the crime.

Many reports note that the scene outside LNJP Hospital is that of chaos as families of victims have gathered, searching for their missing loved ones.
