Delhi on High Alert: Police Intensifies Verification Post Red Fort Blast

Following the November 10 Red Fort blast, Delhi Police initiated a large-scale verification drive, registering cases against 175 individuals for not completing mandatory police verification. The operation is a preventive measure against repeat incidents, ensuring stricter security and compliance with verification protocols across North Delhi.

Following the devastating November 10 blast near the Red Fort, the Delhi Police have launched an extensive verification drive in the North district. Officials have registered cases against 175 individuals who failed to complete the mandatory police verification process, an imperative step in enhancing security measures.

The blast, executed by a suicide bomber and linked to a dismantled 'white-collar' terror network spanning multiple states, claimed 15 lives and injured many others. In response, a rigorous campaign for tenant and lodge verifications was initiated. Consequently, numerous FIRs have been filed against non-compliant residents, including small guest houses.

Advanced security measures now encompass the deployment of drones, additional paramilitary units, and CCTV surveillance to monitor high-traffic areas like the Red Fort complex. Residents are urged to ensure thorough police verification for tenants and guests to prevent potential threats and maintain public safety.
