NIA files chargesheets against three more accused in Red Fort blast case

The National Investigation Agency filed chargesheets against three additional accused individuals in a blast case near the Red Fort in Delhi on June 27, 2026.

This legal action follows the discovery that weapons including AK-47s were procured via dead drops for the main accused, marking a significant step in dismantling the terror network behind the incident.

  • The Red Fort was completed in 1648 and served as the main residence of Mughal emperors for nearly 200 years.
  • The AK-47 variant is distinct from the standard AK-47 due to its use of a different caliber ammunition.
  • India's NIA operates under the Ministry of Home Affairs and has jurisdiction across all states and union territories.
