Overview
- Delhi Police have registered a case under UAPA sections 16 and 18 and the Explosive Substances Act, with NIA, NSG and CFSL teams collecting forensic samples and reviewing site evidence.
- CCTV shows the Hyundai i20 entering Sunheri Masjid parking at 3:19 p.m., exiting at 6:48 p.m. and exploding about four minutes later near the Lal Qila metro area, with agencies assessing a possible fidayeen-style attack.
- The Gurugram-registered car (linked to owner Mohammad Salman) changed hands through a Faridabad used-car dealer to Kashmir-based buyers, with Pulwama resident Tariq detained and more than 100 camera feeds under review.
- Earlier the same day, police seized roughly 2,900 kg of IED-making material, weapons and ammunition in the Faridabad–J&K crackdown and arrested suspects including doctors, a network now under scrutiny for possible links to the blast.
- Authorities have ordered heightened security in Delhi and across Jammu, including the Vaishno Devi corridor, as the Home Minister chaired a high-level review and directed a full hunt for everyone involved.
