In a post on X, Shah said, “Chaired review meetings on the Delhi car blast with the senior officials. Instructed them to hunt down each and every culprit behind this incident. Everyone involved in this act will face the full wrath of our agencies.”

Shah’s comments came after chairing two subsequent security review meetings which were held in the wake of the Monday evening blast near Red Fort in Delhi that claimed 13 lives.

The first meeting was attended by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Director of Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka, Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha and NIA DG Sadanand Vasant Date.
