Red Fort car blast | Key points
-A car, believed to be a Hyundai i20, exploded near one of the gates of the Red Fort or Lal Quila Metro Station on Monday evening, killing and injuring several. A man named Dr Umar is believed to have been behind the wheels during the time of the explosion.
-The death toll in the blast stood at eight till Tuesday morning and rose to 13 later. The Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday handed over the probe into the blast to anti-terror agency NIA (National Investigation Agency).
-While the probe into the case is with anti-terror agency NIA, the cause of the explosion remains unknown. The car was parked for nearly two hours at a lot adjacent to the monument before it exploded while moving slowly on Netaji Subhash Marg, an earlier HT report quoted investigators familiar with the initial probe as saying on Monday.
-Police used CCTV footage to trace the car’s movement in the final few hours in the build-up to the deadly explosion. They said the footage shows the car, with three occupants, heading from the Daryaganj Market towards the Sunehri Masjid parking lot beside the Red Fort on Shantivan Marg around 4pm.
-The car bore a Haryana registration number and was last registered to a man in Gurugram, but had changed hands several times in recent weeks, another investigator said.
