Pulwama Link To Delhi Blast: Doctor Named As Key Suspect

Dr Umar Mohammad, member of a radical doctors group with links to the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Pakistan-based terror group, is at the centre of Delhi blast. A car exploded near Red Fort in Delhi on Monday evening, killing at least nine people and injuring 20 others, with Umar Mohammad suspected to be the suicide bomber.

Born in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama on 24 February 1989, Umar Mohammad was a doctor at the Al Falah Medical College in Faridabad. He was allegedly a close aide of Adeel Ahmad Rather and Mujammil Shakil, the two doctors who were arrested on Monday for being involved in the "white collar" terror module.

Following the arrest of his aides, Umar reportedly panicked and triggered the blast in his white Hyundai i20 car.

Body parts and hand fragments have been found in the car and DNA testing will now be conducted to determine whether the body belongs to Umar Mohammad.
