New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) Investigation agencies are closely monitoring social media activity on Tuesday following the Delhi bomb blasts and have started collecting dump data from several areas. According to Delhi Police sources, dump data is being collected from all the mobile phones operating in and around the Red Fort area. This data could provide important clues to help identify phone numbers linked to car bombings. Officials said dump data is also being collected from the Red Fort parking area and its surrounding areas. Investigators believe that the people inside the car that exploded may have communicated with each other before the explosion, making parking lot phone records especially important. Additionally, Faridabad dump data is being analyzed to determine possible communication links between individuals and how many people were in contact with each other before and after the incident. As investigation into the Delhi blast continues, it has been revealed that the Hyundai i20 car used in the blast was purchased from a second-hand car dealer located in Sector 37, Faridabad, Haryana. Meanwhile, the blast occurred on Monday evening when a Haryana-registered car, a Hyundai i20, parked near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort metro station exploded, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens. High alert has been issued in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Mumbai and security has been increased in crowded public places and around religious places. The incident also came just hours after police busted a terror module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind terror organizations in Faridabad and seized 2,900 kg of explosives and huge cache of arms and ammunition. The police also announced that in the last few days, they have arrested two doctors from Jammu and Kashmir, Adil Ahmed Rather and Muzammil, who were associated with these terror outfits, which, according to sources, caused the module panic and explosion. According to sources, the Hyundai i20 was initially owned by Mohammed Salman, who was caught on Monday night, and the ownership of the car changed several times – it was first sold to Nadeem, then to a second-hand car dealer in Faridabad. The vehicle was later bought by Aamir, then by Tariq, who is also suspected to be linked to the Faridabad terror module, and later by Mohammad Umar. Both Aamir and Tariq are also under investigation by the authorities. Following the blast, Delhi Police intensified its investigation into the car blast near the Red Fort, with crucial details emerging from CCTV footage tracking the movements of the suspicious vehicle hours before the blast. –IANS JK/DPB
