Even as the country is still reeling from the shock of a deadly car blast in Delhi's Red Fort area on Monday, a fresh CCTV clip has surfaced on social media, showing the precise moment of the explosion.
The visual was reportedly recorded by a surveillance camera installed at the Red Fort crossing.
The 15-second clip showed busy traffic movements near the Red Fort metro station before a huge ball of fire engulfed the screen.
An explosion ripped through a slow-moving Haryana-registered Hyundai i20 car, triggering chaos and panic as people were seen running for cover.
The CCTV footage has corroborated the time of the explosion that investigators established earlier as 6.50 pm.

Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has formed a team of ten officers to investigate the explosion that killed 12 people and injured several others.
The team will be led by NIA ADG Vijay Sakhare and will include an IG, two DIGs, three SPs, and the rest DSP-level officers.
The Haryana-registered car that exploded near Gate No.1 of the Red Fort Metro Station is believed to have been driven by Dr Umar Nabi, assistant professor at Al-Falah University in Haryana's Faridabad.
Dr Umar had been absconding since the Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana Police conducted joint raids in Faridabad and seized nearly 2,953 kg of explosives (ammonia nitrate).
A total of nine people, including three doctors, have been arrested in connection with the terror module.
