Delhi Blast: Third car linked to the Red Fort case found at Al-Falah University
In the ongoing investigation into the Delhi Red Fort blast, a third vehicle linked to the prime suspect, Dr. Umar Un Nabi, has been discovered. The Maruti Brezza was found parked inside Al-Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, on Thursday. This discovery follows the recovery of two other vehicles connected to the case: the white Hyundai i20 used in the blast and a red Ford EcoSport.
The white Hyundai i20 was detonated near the Red Fort on Monday evening, resulting in 13 fatalities and numerous injuries. The Ford EcoSport, also belonging to Dr. Nabi, was found earlier near a house in Khandawali village, Haryana.
Police believe that the Maruti Brezza was used for reconnaissance or as an escape vehicle in the planning and execution of the attack. Multiple teams are investigating the car to gather more information about the attack.
Meanwhile, Faridabad Police have detained Faheem, who is said to be a relative of Dr. Umar, for parking the EcoSport. Faheem is being questioned to determine his involvement in the logistics and planning of the vehicle's use. Investigators suspect the EcoSport was used to transport and store ammonium nitrate over a period of time.
DNA testing has confirmed that Dr. Umar Un Nabi was indeed the individual driving the i20 at the time of the blast. DNA samples taken from Dr. Nabi's mother in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, were matched with unidentified remains found at the blast site.
Al-Falah University, where Dr. Nabi worked as an assistant professor, is under intense scrutiny following the blast and the arrest of three doctors connected to the institution. Police conducted raids on the campus and in nearby villages, searching for explosives and potential suspects. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has issued a show-cause notice to Al-Falah University for allegedly displaying false accreditation on its website. The university has distanced itself from the accused doctors, stating that their involvement was limited to their official capacities within the university.
The blast has led to increased security measures in Delhi, with the Lal Quila Metro Station remaining closed until further notice. In Assam, fifteen people have been arrested for allegedly posting offensive social media content in response to the blast.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to uncover the full extent of the conspiracy and bring all those involved to justice. The discovery of the third vehicle at Al-Falah University is a significant development that could provide crucial insights into the planning and execution of the Red Fort blast.
