Delhi Blast | Hyundai i20 Car Used By Suspected Delhi Suicide Bomber Was Bought, Sold 7 Times

Delhi Red Fort Blast: 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. A high alert has been sounded in Delhi. The Delhi Police have invoked UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) sections after forensic evidence and intelligence inputs pointed to possible terror links. 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.
