The Red Fort blast remained the dominant story in Indian media. The morning saw new CCTV footage emerge showing the i20 car exploding on a crowded road, and investigations indicated the bomb was premature due to the suspect's haste amid police raids. Details also emerged about the 'doctors module' radicalization through Turkey trips and Telegram chats, linking suspects Adil and Muzammil to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Masood Azhar's brother. By late morning, Prime Minister Modi visited the victims at LNJP Hospital. In the early afternoon, authorities initiated a hunt for a second car, a red Ford EcoSport, owned by the bomber, which was later found in Haryana/Faridabad. The government officially declared the Red Fort blast a terrorist incident, condemning it in a Union Cabinet resolution. Police also linked the plot to a planned major strike on December 6th.
