The Day of the Red Fort Suicide Attack Confirmation and Bihar Government Formation

Indian media focused heavily on the Delhi blast investigation, with initial reports in the morning confirming the suspect's identity and the recovery of 9mm cartridges. By early afternoon, details emerged about the use of dead-drop emails to conceal the plot. Throughout the day, reports intensified on a doctor's decade-long connection to Jaish-e-Mohammed and financial disclosures related to the blast. In the late afternoon, the NIA confirmed the Red Fort explosion was a car-borne suicide attack and announced the arrest of Amir Rashid Ali, accused of procuring the i20 car used. Concurrently, Bihar's political developments remained a significant focus, with preparations for a new government, expected resignations, and ongoing internal RJD family turmoil.
