Overview
- Delhi Police say 10 people were killed in the Nov. 10 Hyundai i20 explosion near Red Fort, with two bodies too damaged to identify without DNA analysis.
- Samples have been sent to CFSL and a DNA swab from Dr. Umar Mohammad’s mother has been taken as agencies work to confirm whether he was in the car.
- An FIR has been registered under UAPA sections 16 and 18 and the Explosives Act, with the Special Cell, NIA, NSG and forensic teams leading a multi-agency probe.
- CCTV shows the i20 (HR26 7624) parked at Sunheri Masjid for about three hours before leaving at 6:48 pm and exploding around 6:52 pm; the registered owner has been questioned and a Pulwama link to a later buyer is under scrutiny.
- Authorities are examining a possible connection to an inter-state module busted earlier the same day with roughly 2,900 kg of explosive materials and several arrests, including medical professionals, though a direct link to the blast remains unconfirmed.
