Indian police have set up multiple roadblocks on roads in Delhi following a car blast on Monday evening which left at least 13 people dead and multiple injured.
The blast occurred inside a car near the historic Red Fort. Police reported a slow-moving vehicle had stopped at a red light on the road before the explosion which set nearby vehicles alight, damaging more than twenty cars.
Immediately after the blast, firefighters, police teams and forensic experts reached the spot to investigate the blast.
Video footage filmed by a China Global Television Network (CGTN) stringer on Tuesday showed that police have blocked off roads near the incident area, with a large number of media personnel remaining on site.
The Red Fort area will remain closed for three days and the entire area will be cordoned off, according to reports on Tuesday.

No one and no force should be allowed to engage in provocations or stir up trouble on the Taiwan question, which lies at the very heart of China's core interests and represents a red line that must not be crossed, a Chinese mainland spokeswoman said on Wednesday in Beijing.
Zhang Han, spokeswoman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the comments at a regular press conference in response to a media query concerning Japan calling China's countermeasures against Japanese lawmaker Keiji Furuya's egregious acts related to Taiwan as "regrettable".
"I want to stress once again that the Taiwan question is at the very heart of China's core interests and represents a red line that must not be crossed. Keiji Furuya's overt interference in China's internal affairs over the Taiwan question constitutes a serious infringement on China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The countermeasures China has taken in response are entirely reasonable and lawful. Japan, for its part, should make deep reflection on its history of aggression, draw lessons from the past, earnestly correct its course, abide by the one-China principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, and must not allow any individual or any force to engage in provocations or cause trouble on the Taiwan question," she said.
