Exclusive details on the Red Fort car blast investigation. New CCTV footage tracks the Hyundai i20 and alleged bomber Dr. Umar Nabi, exposing a wider terror module link.
Red Fort Car Blast Investigation
The high-intensity car explosion that ripped through a bustling intersection near the historic Red Fort in Delhi has jolted the nation, confirming the grim reality of a meticulously planned act of terror. The blast, which occurred at approximately 6:52 PM on Monday evening near the Red Fort Metro Station traffic signal, instantly transformed a routine commute into a devastating scene of chaos and destruction, claiming the lives of at least a dozen people and leaving several others critically injured.
The focal point of the massive, multi-agency investigation is a single, mangled vehicle: a white Hyundai i20 car. Forensic and counter-terrorism teams have meticulously pieced together the fragments of evidence, with new CCTV footage providing the most damning clues, revealing the entire 11-hour trail of the vehicle leading up to the detonation. This footage tracks the i20’s journey from the city of Faridabad into the national capital, painting a worrying picture of the bomber’s movements.
Investigators from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Delhi Police Special Cell confirmed that the ill-fated vehicle was driven by a single occupant: Dr. Umar Nabi, a medical professional from Pulwama, Kashmir. This detail immediately widened the scope of the probe, turning the Delhi incident into a critical element of a larger terror module conspiracy spanning Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. The entire investigation now centers on how a seemingly normal white-collar professional became the alleged suicide bomber in a high-profile attack.
