The car that exploded on an arterial road near Red Fort in Delhi on Monday evening has been traced to a Kashmir-based doctor with ties to a terror module linked to the seizure of a huge cache of explosive material in Faridabad.

The explosion engulfed nearby vehicles and left thirteen people dead and 21 injured.
