Delhi Car Blast: Eight people killed, many injured in car blast outside Delhi Red Fort metro station. The echo of the blast created panic, NIA-NSG started investigation. Accident or conspiracy? Investigation continues from every angle.
Delhi Bomb Blast News: The car blast outside Delhi’s Red Fort metro station has shaken the entire country. But now as the investigation of this blast is progressing, the threads of this case appear to be connected to Pulwama. The ownership of the Hyundai i20 car that exploded changed hands several times. Initially this car belonged to Mohammad Salman, but he sold it to a person named Nadeem. Nadeem sold the car to Royal Car Zone, a used car dealer in Faridabad. After this, the new owner of the car became Tariq, who lived in Faridabad but was actually a resident of Pulwama (Jammu and Kashmir) – the same Pulwama where the terrorist attack on a CRPF convoy took place in 2019. Now the question is, was this just a simple car sale, or is there a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it?

Panic and relief after Delhi Blast: Fire brigade saved many lives
As soon as the explosion occurred, flames started touching the sky. Seven vehicles of Delhi Fire Service reached the spot and brought the fire under control in about 40 minutes. During this time, six cars, four bikes and three e-rickshaws parked nearby were burnt to ashes. According to people, the sound of the blast was “like an earthquake”. About 9 people are confirmed dead and many are seriously injured, who have been admitted to LNJP Hospital.
Is there any link between Delhi blast and Pulwama?
Dr. Muzammil Shakeel and Dr. Adil Ahmed Rather were arrested a few days ago in Faridabad itself. Both are residents of Pulwama and Haryana Police along with J&K Police had seized 2900 kg of bomb making chemical from their hideout. Now when the owner of the car used in the blast was also found to be connected to Pulwama, the investigating agencies have been shocked. Is this just a coincidence, or has the beginning of a major terrorist conspiracy in Delhi been prevented?
Did Tariq execute ‘fidayeen mission’?
According to sources, the Hyundai car that exploded was running, which means someone was present inside. In such a situation, the doubt is deepening whether Tariq himself was involved in this blast? Did he carry out the suicide mission in fear of the police getting closer? Or was this a last ditch effort by a larger module that wanted to create a bigger explosion before being caught? Investigating agencies believe that many unsuccessful attempts have been made before the Delhi blast, and it is possible that this may be part of the same series.
Why are all roads leading to Pulwama?
On one hand, the recovery of bomb making chemicals from two chemists of Pulwama in Faridabad, on the other hand, the blast in the car of Pulwama resident Tariq in the same area in Delhi – both these incidents have forced the investigating agencies to think that why is every thread connecting to Pulwama? Has Faridabad become the new hub of terrorist network in Delhi? Or is it just a coincidence that multiple suspicious connections are emerging from the same area?
Investigation continues, but the mystery is deepening
At present, NIA, NSG and Delhi Police Special Cell are engaged in investigation from all angles. The forensic report is awaited and many important revelations may be made in the coming 24 hours. Delhi Police has appealed to the public not to pay attention to rumours, but people across the country are still asking whether it was just an accident, or the beginning of a bigger conspiracy?
