Hotelier Narrowly Escapes Deadly Red Fort Metro Blast by Choosing Subway
Imagine you're walking home, and you're about to get into a car.
But then, you suddenly decide to take the train instead, buying your ticket just seconds before a big accident happens right where you would have been!
That's what happened to a man named Ajay in Delhi.
He was near a place called the Red Fort and was going to take a taxi.
But he changed his mind at the very last moment and bought a train ticket.
Almost immediately after, a huge explosion happened near where he was planning to get his taxi.
Because he took the train, he was safe.
It was a scary event for many people, and the police are trying to figure out how it happened.
Ajay felt very lucky to be safe because of his quick change of plans.
A powerful explosion occurred near the Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi on Monday evening.
The blast killed nearly 10 people and injured over 20.
Hotelier Ajay Singh from Manali narrowly escaped the blast by choosing to take the metro at the last minute.
