The Faridabad police recovered the red Ford EcoSport car, suspected to be linked to the prime suspect, Dr Umar Un Nabi, in the Delhi blast case. The Delhi Police had issued an alert for the car.
The car was recovered from an Idgah in Khandavali village.
The vehicle is registered in the name of Umar Un Nabi. Delhi Police had also shared the details of the car with the Uttar Pradesh and Haryana Police, a senior official said.
Earlier, the Delhi Police said all police stations, police posts, and border checkpoints in the national capital were alerted to look out and search for a red colour Ford Eco Sport car, following an investigation which revealed that the suspects had another car in addition to the Hyundai i20.
The National Investigation Agency is likely to visit Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad’s Dhouj as part of its extensive probe into the Delhi car blast case, involving the involvement of a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) module.
The DNA samples of the mother and brother of Dr Umar Nabi, suspected to be involved in the Delhi blast, have been collected and sent to the AIIMS forensic laboratory for further analysis. These samples will be matched with the remains of the bodies kept at Lok Nayak Hospital in Delhi.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Dr Sudhir Gupta, Head of Forensic Medicine at AIIMS Delhi, said DNA profiling is used in human identification to match an individual to a biological sample by analysing unique sections of their DNA.
DNA profiling is considered to be a powerful tool in forensic science for identifying suspects or victims, and it also establishes biological relationships.
