Forensic Probe Reveals Dr Umar Mohammad Behind High-Intensity Delhi Explosion

Forensic investigations into the Delhi blast near the Red Fort have confirmed that Dr Umar Mohammad orchestrated the bomb-making operation. He created a powerful explosive device by combining ammonium nitrate with fuel oil and transformer oil.

Crucial Findings on the I20 Car Used in the Attack

Investigators have also uncovered key details about the I20 car involved in the blast. The vehicle was purchased for ₹2 lakh from a dealer in Faridabad, with a Jammu and Kashmir driving license used as documentation. The entire payment was made in cash. Forensic analysis revealed that 60 percent of the exhibits related to the I20 car helped unravel the details behind the explosion. Thin wires discovered at the blast site indicated the use of a timer linked to the detonator and fuel oil to trigger the bomb.

Dr Umar Mohammad: The Expert Behind the Bomb

The forensic team confirmed that Dr Umar Mohammad masterminded the assembly of the explosive. He combined ammonium nitrate with fuel oil and transformer oil to produce a highly potent device. The bomb was wired with thin cables connected to a 3mm or 9mm battery-powered timer. The circuit included a manual switch, which experts believe Umar used like a household on-off switch to detonate the explosive. The entire assembly process takes only five to ten minutes, and the detonators employed can be easily obtained from common coal mines.

Investigation Focus: Time and Place of Bomb Assembly

Authorities are concentrating on determining where Dr Umar Mohammad assembled the bomb and connected the timer and detonator. It remains under investigation whether the assembly occurred during the three hours the car was parked in the Red Fort parking area or before entering Delhi, with the switch already in place. Detailed forensic analysis and multiple samples are being examined to reconstruct the complete sequence of events leading to the attack.

This breakthrough not only identifies the perpetrator but also sheds light on the technical sophistication behind the high-intensity terror strike near one of Delhi's most iconic landmarks.
