Delhi Blast: Al-Falah University Doctors Role Under Lens
Nine people are dead and 20 injured after a blast in a car near Red Fort on Monday evening, officials said.
The blast took place in a Hyundai i20 car at 6.52 pm near the Red Fort Metro Station, leaving mangled bodies and damaged cars scattered in the busy area. An initial assessment of the blast indicated the suspects may have panicked and made a mistake while carrying the explosives, top intelligence sources told NDTV today. As the probe into the blast deepens, investigators today took three more doctors from Faridabad's Al-Falah University into custody.
The blast came hours after Jammu and Kashmir Police recovered nearly 3,000 kg of explosives from two residential buildings in Faridabad in Haryana. Sources said that Dr Umar Mohammad, who owned the car, reportedly panicked and triggered the blast near the Red Fort after investigators arrested two key members of the module - Dr Mujammil Shakeel and Dr Adil Rather - and seized the explosives. Ammonium nitrate, which was found in Faridabad, was used in the blast, sources added.
