New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) The white Hyundai i20 car that exploded on Netaji Subhash Marg near the Red Fort in Delhi was parked outside a mosque for about two hours before the incident. Investigations reveal that the car that exploded, killing eight people, including three others, was parked outside Sunehri Masjid before the incident. Police managed to piece together the route of the vehicle by obtaining CCTV footage from the area. Police said that in the footage, three people in a car were going from Daryaganj market towards the parking of the mosque near the Red Fort at around 4 pm. The blast occurred at around 6.31 pm. After this the car took a U-turn near Old Delhi Railway Station and then went towards Lower Subhash Marg. Police said that the car slowed down at the traffic signal at Chhata Rail Chowk and then the explosion occurred. However, it is not clear whether the explosion was to happen on signal or the occupants intended to ram the car into the Red Fort. The ownership of the car is also being investigated. It was found that the car was sold several times. The registration number of the vehicle was HR26CE7674. It was first registered in 2014 in the name of Mohammad Salman, a resident of Gurugram. Subsequently, the car was sold several times. Salman sold it to a person named Devender, after which it was sold to a person in Ambala. The current owner of the car is unknown, and investigators are working on that aspect. However, the registered owner has been arrested and is being interrogated. Multiple agencies are working on the case. The National Investigation Agency (NIA), Intelligence Bureau and Delhi Police’s anti-terrorism unit are part of the investigation. Ambala Police has also started a parallel investigation into the case. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that a comprehensive investigation is being conducted and all aspects are being considered. Meanwhile, high alert continues in Delhi and neighboring states. Agencies suspect that this incident may be linked to the busting of the Faridabad module. In the national capital, security is at an all-time high with the deployment of additional police and CISF personnel. All government buildings and other sensitive places in the city have been secured. The police are also deeply investigating the Faridabad module as they suspect that it may be related to the incident. When the module was busted, police recovered 2,900 kg of explosives. This has given rise to suspicion that the module may have planned many more attacks in Delhi and neighboring states. An official confirmed that the module had planned to carry out a series of attacks by filling cars with explosives. The plan might have been to park explosive-laden cars at all key locations in Delhi, including the Delhi Metro, and then detonate them. Officials also said that prima facie, it appeared that the intention was to ram the vehicles into vital structures, thus causing a wave of suicide bombings in the national capital. –IANS Vicky/SVN
