At least eight people have been killed after a car exploded in New Delhi, say Indian police.
The blast happened at the gates of the metro station at the Red Fort, a former Mughal palace and a busy tourist spot.
Local media said at least 11 people were injured and that Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh state had been put on high alert after the incident. The cause of the explosion remains unclear.
The city’s police commissioner, Satish Golcha, said it happened a few minutes before 7pm.
“A slow-moving vehicle stopped at a red light. An explosion happened in that vehicle, and due to the explosion,
nearby vehicles were also damaged,” he told reporters.
One resident, who did not give a name, told NDTV: “We heard a big sound, our windows shook.”
Sanjay Tyagi, a Delhi police spokesman, said they were still investigating the cause, while the fire service reported that at least six vehicles and three autorickshaws had caught fire.
Images on social media appear to show the burnt-out remnants of several cars at the scene.
India’s interior minister was heading to the scene and said he would also visit the hospital treating the injured.
