A major search operation launched by the Delhi police to locate the second car of Delhi Red Fort Metro blast accused Dr Umar Un Nabi, has ended, with police locating the red Ford EcoSport in Faridabad. Delhi police confirmed the vehicle has been seized, and a further probe is underway.
Police traced the vehicle in Khandawali village in Faridabad. A Faridabad police spokesperson told PTI, "Yes, it has been found in Khandawali village." The revelation of the presence of a second car in the name of the accused alarmed police, leading investigators to suspect the possibility of another car blast.
Besides alerting all police stations and border checkpoints in the national capital, searches were also conducted in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh for the accused's car. Police issued the alert after the probe revealed that other suspects, already connected to the Hyundai i20 used in the Delhi Red Fort Metro explosion, were also in possession of another red-coloured car.
