Investigating the Red Fort bomb blast, the Delhi Police`s initial investigation indicates that the high-intensity explosion may have been a fidayeen (suicide) attack, said sources within the Delhi Police on Tuesday.

The sources asserted that, according to early findings, investigation agencies believe the suspect intended to carry out an explosion. As soon as the suspect learnt that a Faridabad module had been busted, he reportedly shifted to planning a fidayeen-style operation, apparently to maximise casualties and avoid capture by police, reported ANI.
