CCTV images have emerged showing the white Hyundai i20 car that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday evening, killing nine people and injuring 20 others. According to sources, the vehicle – with the number plate HR 26CE7674 – was parked in the parking lot near the fort for over three hours, entering at 3:19 pm and leaving around 6:30 pm.
A picture shows the car entering the parking lot with the driver’s hand on the window.
The driver of the car can be seen in another picture in which he appears to be wearing a blue and black t-shirt.
A third picture shows the car on a busy road in the national capital.
The blast took place at 6.52 near the Red Fort Metro Station, leaving mangled bodies and wrecked cars scattered in the busy area. The Delhi Police have invoked UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) sections after forensic evidence and intelligence inputs pointed to possible terror links.
A high alert has also been sounded in Delhi and other nearby states – Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Haryana, Punjab, Hyderabad, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand are on high alert. Bihar, which is set to vote in the second and final round of polling today, is also on high alert.
The blast took place on a day a massive haul of 2,900 kg of explosives was found just 50 km from the capital, in neighbouring Haryana’s Faridabad.
