The new video shows Dr Umar, the prime suspect in the Delhi car blast, handing a phone to a shopkeeper while keeping another on his lap, though authorities have not found any phones near his car at the blast site.
A fresh CCTV footage from a Faridabad mobile shop has cast spotlight on movements of Dr Umar, the prime suspect in the Delhi car blast, that claimed 13 lives. The clip captures Umar seated at a small shop counter, discreetly handing over one of his two mobile phones to the shopkeeper for charging. Another mobile, gripped tightly in his palm, confirms suspicions that the fugitive doctor was juggling multiple devices during his escape.
Observers noted that Umar appeared visibly tense, his posture and restless eyes showed pressure he carried during the process of phone charging. According to investigating agencies, Umar eventually discarded or concealed both mobile phones before entering Delhi on November 10, as he was found with no communication devices at the moment the Red Fort car bomb detonated.

Umar’s Pulwama home blown up
Security personnel in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district launched a demolition raid on Friday, deploying three controlled blasts to destroy Umar’s family home in Koil village. The two-storey structure was reduced to rubble between 12:30 am and 2:30 am after residents of nearby houses and Umar’s own relatives were evacuated. Some surrounding homes reportedly suffered minor collateral damage.
