12 killed, many injured in Delhi Red Fort blast. The pain, broken dreams and tears of the families in Lok Nayak Hospital. Will the security agencies be able to reach all the conspirators including mastermind Dr. Umar Nabi? When will we get justice?
New Delhi. The deadly blast near Delhi’s Red Fort shook the peace of the capital. At least 12 people were killed and more than 20 were injured in this blast. This accident completely changed not just one place but the world of many families. The sounds of crying family members are echoing outside Lok Nayak Hospital, and there is a strange silence among them.
Who were those people who were suddenly snatched from their families?
Pankaj Saini from Bihar was a 22-year-old youth who worked as a cab driver in Chandni Chowk. He was returning after dropping a passenger at the time of the accident. Noman from Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, had gone to collect goods for his cosmetic shop and Ashok Kumar, a conductor in Delhi Transport Corporation, was going to meet another acquaintance of his. All these people were the main earners of their families. A sudden suicide blast in a white i20 car turned their lives and the world of their families upside down.
How many families were broken and why are their voices silent?
Pankaj Saini’s father told the media, “We expect justice from the government. The future of the family is in darkness due to the death of our son.” Ashok Kumar, the sole breadwinner in a family of eight, lived in Delhi with his wife and four children. His cousin told that after seeing Ashok’s name in the list, he came to know how the accident devastated his family. Noman died on the spot and his cousin was injured.
Will security agencies be able to reach the mastermind?
Security agencies, NIA and Delhi Police are engaged in a thorough investigation of this matter. More than 1,000 CCTV footage clips are being examined. The question is whether investigators will be able to reach the mastermind of the blast and his network.
