New Delhi:
One of the owners of the Hyundai i20 that exploded near Delhi’s Red Fort on Monday evening, killing eight people and injuring 20 others in a high-intensity blast, is a man from Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir, sources told NDTV hours after the explosion.
Minutes earlier, police in Haryana’s Gurugram confirmed the arrest of Mohammad Salman, the original owner of the i20 bearing registration number HR26 CE 7674. Salman told the police he had sold the car to a man named Tariq, a resident of Pulwama, J&K.
What has been confirmed so far is that the car slowed down as it approached a traffic signal near Gate No. 1 of the Lal Qila Metro Station around 6:52 p.m. Within seconds, it exploded.
According to sources, the blast originated from the rear of the vehicle. The impact was so powerful that it ignited nearly two dozen nearby vehicles, including an e-rickshaw. The fire raged for about 40 minutes before firefighters brought it under control.
