Delhi Blast: Investigations are underway into the Delhi car blast that occurred near the Red Fort area on Monday, claiming multiple lives. Initial findings by the Delhi police indicate that it could potentially be a ‘Fidayeen’ (suicide) attack. Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspect, Umar Un-Nabi may have planned the suicide bombing after learning that the Faridabad terror module had been busted.
Officials said that all relevant agencies are now probing every possible angle to uncover the motive and network behind the deadly explosion. Notably, Dr Umar Un-Nabi is a suspect in the blast, and his family members including his mother and brother have been detained for questioning in Jammu and Kashmir. Umar, who was on the run following the bust of the Faridabad terror module had possession of the car at the time of the blast.
The car that passed through many hands
The blast involved a Hyundai i20 car that was sold by a man named Salman in Haryana to Tariq from Pulwama. The car had been registered in the name of Salman. Upon questioning by the police, Salman said that he had sold the car to Devender this March. Later, it changed hands and went to Aamir. Aamir then passed it on to Tariq, and from Tariq, the car moved to Dr Umar’s possession.
Who was Umar?
Umar, was a resident of Koil in Pulwama Jammu and Kashmir, and a close associate of Adeel. He is believed to have been the man behind the wheel when the blast was triggered. CCTV footage captured before the explosion shows part of Umar’s face. Police are now planning to conduct a DNA test to confirm the car driver’s identity. Speaking to ANI, Muzamila, the sister-in-law of Dr. Umar, revealed that he was very attached to her children. She said he had not been home for the last two months, loved playing cricket, and was always busy studying. Umar was engaged, she added.
