#JustIn: CCTV Captures Suspected Suicide Bomber Moments Before Red Fort Explosion
CCTV exposes doctor’s car in deadly Delhi blast killing nine.
Chilling CCTV footage has surfaced showing a white Hyundai i20—registered HR 26CE7674—carrying a suspected suicide bomber as it prowled Delhi before detonating near the Red Fort Metro Station on Monday at 6:52 p.m. The vehicle entered the capital via Badarpur border, parked in the Red Fort lot from 3:19 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and never once did the driver step out, according to police sources. Images capture the bomber’s hand dangling from the window, clad in a blue-and-black t-shirt, as he apparently awaited final orders in the crowded heritage zone.
Investigators have linked the car to Dr. Umar Mohammad, a south Kashmir physician from Pulwama, identified as the mastermind behind the terror module. Sources reveal Umar panicked after Haryana Police seized 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate—just 50 km away in Faridabad—on the same day, alongside the arrest of two accomplices, Dr. Mujammil Shakeel and Dr. Adil Rather. Fearing exposure, Umar allegedly triggered the blast remotely via a detonator planted in the i20, turning a routine evening into carnage with 13 dead, 20 injured, and severed limbs scattered across the blast radius.
The explosion’s ferocity mangled six cars and three auto-rickshaws, with forensic teams confirming ammonium nitrate as the primary explosive—matching the Faridabad haul. Delhi Police invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, classifying the incident as a terrorist strike. National Security Guard commandos swept the site while ambulances ferried critically injured to Lok Nayak Hospital, where surgeons battled to save burn victims and amputees. Disturbing visuals of charred bodies and blood-soaked streets have fueled public outrage over intelligence failures.
A nationwide high alert now grips major cities—Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Hyderabad—and border states like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Bihar, heading into its final election phase on Tuesday, has deployed additional forces at polling stations. Security has been tripled at airports, railway hubs, and religious sites, with drone patrols over Delhi’s monuments. The U.S. and UK embassies issued urgent advisories urging citizens to avoid crowded areas as counter-terror units trace Umar’s remaining associates.
As the “white collar” terror network—comprising educated professionals—comes into sharp focus, authorities warn of sleeper cells embedded in medical and tech sectors. The Red Fort attack marks the deadliest strike in Delhi since 2021, shattering the capital’s sense of safety. With the investigation intensifying, officials vow to dismantle the module before another detonator is armed, while families of the victims demand swift justice and ironclad protection.
