Delhi Police shifts focus to conspiracy in Red Fort blast case
Delhi Police's Special Cell has opened a fresh investigation into the Red Fort car blast, now treating it as a criminal conspiracy rather than just an isolated incident.
This shift is meant to dig deeper into who might be behind the attack and what their larger motives could be.
What we know so far
CCTV footage captured just how intense the explosion was—it shook the ground 40 feet below the Metro station. Forensics say high-grade explosives were used, and over 40 samples are being tested.
DNA evidence has confirmed that Dr. Umar Nabi, an assistant professor at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, was driving the car that exploded near Gate 1, killing 13 people and injuring more than 20.
Investigators expect more leads as they piece together how it all connects.
