The investigation into the Red Fort blast case has taken a significant turn with the discovery of a second vehicle linked to the suspects, ‘a red Ford EcoSport’. Following leads related to this car, the Delhi Police quickly moved to an address in northeast Delhi’s New Seelampur area, where the vehicle was officially registered. This sudden development on Wednesday suggests that the accused may have utilized a more extensive network and a two-car operation, rather than relying solely on the Hyundai i20 used in the explosion itself.
Forged Papers Suspected for ‘Dr. Nabi’ Registration
Police sources confirmed that the team’s immediate priority was to verify the ownership details of the Ford EcoSport after records indicated it was registered under the name of a Dr. Umer Un Nabi. However, investigators are highly suspicious, believing that forged or fake documents were likely used to purchase and register the car. The mention of the car being used for reconnaissance scouting the area before the actual blast indicates it was crucial to the planning stage. The suspects already connected to the blast-site i20 were also found to be in possession of this EcoSport, further tightening the net around the module. The registered address in New Seelampur became the focus of a police verification drive. Officers questioned local residents and thoroughly checked available documents.
Reconnaissance Vehicle Found: EcoSport Tracked to Faridabad
This discovery is a major step forward, especially since the Delhi Police had already circulated an alert across the capital, trying to trace the red Ford EcoSport. This alert covered all police stations, posts, and border checkpoints. Adding a key piece to the puzzle, a police source ultimately confirmed that the elusive red EcoSport car has now been located and found parked in Faridabad.
Investigators will now be looking for forensic evidence within the vehicle to establish a conclusive link to the accused and understand the full scope of their movements. It seems the conspiracy has more layers than initially thought—a classic case of two is one, one is none, or in this case, a second getaway/reconnaissance vehicle is found.
