Overview
- Delhi Police matched DNA from the site to identify Dr Umar Un Nabi as the Hyundai i20 driver, and mapped his pre‑blast route using footage from more than 50 cameras.
- Forensic teams say components recovered from the wreckage indicate Umar assembled crude IEDs inside the car hours before the explosion that killed at least 11 people near the Red Fort.
- Five more people were detained, including two doctors and two Al‑Falah University staffers, as teams also picked up compounder Wasid Khan and his brother‑in‑law Mohammad Faheem linked to moving vehicles.
- Investigators located additional cars tied to the group, finding a Ford EcoSport in Faridabad with traces of ammonium nitrate and a Maruti Brezza on the Al‑Falah campus, while a rifle was earlier seized from a Swift Dzire.
- The supply chain for ammonium nitrate and NPK fertilizer was traced to dealers and mining suppliers in Haryana’s Nuh district, with a seller held over a 300‑kg sale and records indicating the suspects pooled roughly ₹20–26 lakh using digital payments.
