Delhi blast: Police trace Hyundai i20 car’s 11-hour journey from Faridabad to Red Fort.

The 11-hour route map of the Hyundai i20 involved in the explosion on Monday night near the Lal Quila Metro station was found by the Delhi Police on Tuesday.  At least eight people were killed and numerous others were injured in the explosion.

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived at the Ministry of Home Affairs at Kartavya Bhawan to chair another round of a security review meeting following the Delhi car blast case.According to the investigation, the vehicle had left Faridabad for the Red Fort around 11 hours before the incident, passing through multiple locations during its journey. CCTV footage showed the car was first spotted outside Asian Hospital in Faridabad at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Monday .

The vehicle entered Delhi at 8:13 am after crossing the Badarpur toll plaza; at 8:20 am, it was seen outside a gas station near the Okhla Industrial Area. At 3:19 p.m., the vehicle pulled into the parking lot close to the Red Fort complex, where it stayed for around three hours. At 6:22 p.m., the vehicle left the parking lot and headed in the direction of the Red Fort. At 6:52 p.m., just twenty-four minutes after it left, there was a strong explosion inside the moving vehicle. According to Delhi Police sources, the high-intensity explosion close to the Red Fort complex may have been a fidayeen attack, according to the police’s preliminary inquiry.

“According to early findings, investigators believe the suspect intended to carry out an explosion. As soon as the suspect learned that a Faridabad module had been busted, he reportedly shifted to planning a fidayeen-style operation, apparently to maximise casualties and avoid capture by police,” the sources added.

The term “fidayeen attack” (also spelled “fidayeen” or “fedayeen”) describes a suicide-style assault by heavily armed militants who want to fight to the death, frequently with little consideration for survival or escape. The word comes from the Arabic word “fedayeen,” which means “those who sacrifice themselves” or “self-sacrificers.” It is noteworthy that early on Monday, the Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana Police together recovered 360 kg of explosives and ammunition from Faridabad, Haryana, and detained two individuals, Dr. Muzammil and Aadil Rather.

In addition to continuing their attempts to identify everyone involved and the series of events that preceded the catastrophe, agencies are actively looking into the situation and attempting to determine the full intent behind the blast.

An investigation is being conducted on the scene by a number of agencies, including the Delhi Police, FSL, and others. CCTV video and data analysis from the dump have emerged as key leads in the Delhi Police’s investigation into the blast in the Red Fort area. Officials claim that CCTV footage shows the accused vehicle coming into and going out of the Red Fort parking lot just before the explosion. In the video, the driver seems to be by himself. More than 100 CCTV clips, including footage from adjacent toll plazas, are being examined in order to track the vehicle’s complete journey on the route towards Daryaganj.

Using dump data, investigators have expanded the research to Faridabad in order to identify communication trends among individuals who may be connected to the incident. Devices that were dormant shortly after the explosion are being tracked using IPDR (Internet Protocol Detail Record) analysis, which may reveal intentional attempts to avoid discovery.
