The victims of the deadly explosion in the Indian capital share their grief as the government pledges zero tolerance for terror and justice for the victims
In the casualty ward of Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital (LNJP) in the historic part of the Indian capital, the aftermath of the November 10 car blast that killed at least 15 people and injured over 20, continues to unfold.
Joginder Singh, a soft-spoken cab driver from East Delhi, is under treatment for severe burns on his arms and neck. Just two months before the blast, Singh had emptied his savings to buy his cab – a precious investment in a better future. That evening, as he queued to pick up his last passenger, the explosion consumed his car in flames and left him wounded.
“I had a narrow escape. I thought I was dead. I am still in shock. I saw death so closely,” Singh says as he struggles in pain with bandaged wounds on his hands.
According to officials, on November 10, at around 6:50 pm local time, a Hyundai i20 packed with explosives detonated at a busy traffic signal near Red Fort Metro Station, which the Indian government called an “act of terror.” Within seconds, a winter evening rush hour became a nightmare, leaving behind dead bodies scattered on the ground, shattered windows, mangled vehicles, and many people seriously wounded.
Thirty victims were rushed to LNJP Hospital,
