In an unprecedented move that has sent alarm bells ringing across the national security establishment, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday afternoon ordered a second high-stakes emergency security meeting within just eight hours of the first, confirming that the Modi government now views the Red Fort suicide bombing as one of the most serious terror attacks on the capital since 26/11.

The morning session, which began at 9 AM sharp and lasted nearly three hours, turned into a virtual war-room interrogation where Shah personally grilled Intelligence Bureau Director Tapan Kumar Deka, Home Secretary Govind Mohan, NIA Director General Sadanand Vasant Date, Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha, and Jammu & Kashmir DGP Nalin Prabhat (who joined via secure video link from Srinagar) over every single intelligence failure that allowed a Jaish-e-Mohammed-linked Kashmiri doctor to detonate an ANFO-laden Hyundai i20 right in the heart of the national capital on Monday evening.

Sources inside North Block revealed that Shah was shown minute-by-minute CCTV footage of the slow-moving death car crawling toward the traffic signal near Red Fort metro station, real-time intercepts, the exact timing of the Faridabad module bust that forced the lone wolf to panic-detonate, and a chilling map marking at least seven other potential targets in Delhi-NCR that were saved only because the eight accomplices were arrested with 2,900 kg of explosives just hours earlier.

The Home Minister has reportedly ordered the NIA to treat this as a “national priority case” and rip apart every Pakistan-based handler, every sleeper cell, every funding channel, and every social media group linked to the attack, while directing the IB to place the entire Jammu-Srinagar highway, all major airports, railway stations, and state capitals on maximum alert with immediate deployment of additional NSG black cat commandos and RAF companies.

With the confirmed death toll of 13, bodies still being identified at Lady Hardinge morgue, and public fury reaching boiling point outside the blast site where flowers and candles now cover bloodstained roads, the second meeting scheduled for late afternoon on November 11, 2025, is expected to finalise far-reaching decisions — from possible cross-border counter-terror operations to nationwide security overhaul — as Amit Shah prepares to deliver India’s answer to the terrorists who dared to strike the soul of the nation.
