9mm bullets found near Red Fort blast site as probe widens
Investigators probe 9mm cartridges found near the Red Fort blast site, retracing suspects' route and examining a hawala trail tied to funding.
Delhi remains under heightened scrutiny as investigators recovered three 9mm cartridges from the debris near the Red Fort blast site, including two live rounds that are not permitted for civilian use. The cartridges were found close to the burnt Hyundai i20 that exploded on November 10, killing 13 people and wounding many.
Authorities are trying to understand how the ammunition reached the scene while stitching together the hours around the blast. The investigation plans to reconstruct the accused Umar Nabi's route from Faridabad to Nuh in Haryana, then to Delhi, retracing each leg with call records, tower locations, and CCTV footage from more than 50 cameras.
There is also a focus on a hawala trail. Early checks indicate transactions of nearly ₹20 lakh that investigators are examining for potential links to foreign-based handlers, with questions about whether the funds financed chemicals and logistics for the attack.
In another development, the National Medical Commission canceled the registration of four doctors from Jammu and Kashmir in connection with the case. Security agencies continue to widen the probe to determine whether any individuals met Nabi or aided him at any point, and to uncover possible networks behind the attack.
