A car, believed to be the secondary vehicle in the Delhi blast on Monday, was found abandoned on Wednesday near a farmhouse in Faridabad, Haryana. The vehicle was registered in the name of the alleged suspect Dr Umar Un Nabi.
The red Ford EcoSport was found in Khandawali hours after a high alert was sounded and security agencies launched a massive hunt.
After the seizure, the car was cordoned off and a team of experts was called to investigate the vehicle. Intelligence agencies had warned that the vehicle could still be carrying crucial evidence or even explosives.
The car was registered at the Rajouri Garden RTO in Delhi on November 22, 2017. Investigations have revealed that Umar used a fake address in Northeast Delhi to purchase the vehicle, prompting police to raid that location late at night.
Security agencies believe that the suspects used the EcoSport as a secondary vehicle in the operation, following the explosion of a white Hyundai i20, which was found destroyed near the blast site.
