In a significant development in the investigation into the deadly car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10, authorities have recovered a red Ford EcoSport SUV believed to be linked to prime suspect Dr. Umar Un Nabi. The vehicle, bearing registration number DL10CK0458, was found abandoned near in Khandawali village in Faridabad district, Haryana, after police launched a massive search operation for the vehicle.
As per reports, the SUV was parked outside a farmhouse in Khandwali which is owned by Dr. Umar. After the vehicle was found, it was cordoned off and a team of experts was called to investigate the vehicle. As the case is linked to recovery of massive quantities of explosives and weapons transported and stored by several doctors from Jammu and Kashmir, it is suspecter that this car may also be carrying explosives or weapons.

As per records, Dr. Nabi is the second owner of the Ford EcoSport with the registration number DL10CK0458. It was registered at the Rajouri Garden RTO in Delhi on November 22, 2017. Police revealed that he had used a fake address in Northeast Delhi to purchase the vehicle. That location has already been raided by police.
It is possible that the EcoSport was also used for terror operation, apart from the white Hyundai i20 driven Dr. Nabi and destroyed in the explosion.
This recovery of the second car follows an intensive manhunt launched by Delhi Police, who had issued alerts across stations in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana after identifying the EcoSport as Dr. Nabi’s second vehicle. The search was initiated in the wake of the blast, which involved Dr. Nabi’s Hyundai i20 exploding near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station, killing at least 12 people and injuring over 20.
Nabi, a doctor at Al-Falah Hospital in Faridabad, is suspected of ties to a Jaish-e-Mohammed-linked terror module from Kashmir, with connections to other arrested individuals, including doctors and a cleric. Raids earlier led to the seizure of 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate and weapons.
