The blast originated from a Hyundai i20 vehicle carrying three passengers, which was reportedly moving slowly and stopped at a traffic light before it exploded. The impact caused a massive fire that spread across the area. According to Delhi police, at least eight people were killed and around 19-20 others injured, while witnesses described hearing a loud blast and seeing several vehicles engulfed in flames.
