A video claiming to show Deputy Commissioner of Police North Delhi Raja Banthia dismissing a terror angle in the Delhi explosion near the Red Fort on 10 November 2025 is being shared on social media platforms.
Here's what he purportedly said:
"According to the investigation, this incident does not seem to be a terrorist attack. Because there were no pieces of bombs or explosives found from the site. And there was no debris on the ground either. It seems that this incident is due to a CNG center plant or some electrical fire. The police team is still investigating. And after the final report, it can be said for sure."
(Archives of similar claims can be found here and here .)
Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false as this video's audio has been tampered.
