What are the allegations against Dr Umar Mohammad?

As reported by IANS, the initial investigation revealed that the driver of the Hyundai i20 involved in the explosion near Delhi's Red Fort Metro Station was Dr Mohammed Umar, a resident of Koil village in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, sources said.

The CCTV footage from the area confirmed that Umar was driving the car.

The blast occurred on Monday evening when a Haryana-registered car, a Hyundai i20, parked near Gate No.1 of the Red Fort Metro Station exploded, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens. High alerts have been issued in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Mumbai, with security around crowded public places and religious sites enhanced.

This blast took place just hours after police busted a terror module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind terror outfits in Faridabad and seized 2,900 kg of explosives and a huge cache of arms and ammunition.

The news wire further reported that after the terror module in Faridabad was exposed, Umar panicked with the fear of getting caught and hence decided to run away.

Agencies are suspecting that either Umar deliberately caused the blast or the explosion might have occurred suddenly near the Metro Station.

Investigating agencies are now trying to find out why Umar had come to the Red Fort area.

Meanwhile, the police have detained his two brothers and mother for questioning, while his father is reportedly mentally challenged.
