Chandigarh, Nov 12: A red Ford EcoSport car suspected to be linked to the Delhi Red Fort blast case has been traced and seized in Faridabad district's Khandawali village, police said.
Faridabad police have rounded up the red EcoSport DL 10 CK 0458, suspected to be linked to the prime suspect, Dr Umar Un Nabi, in the Delhi blast case. It was found parked near Khandawali village. A CFSL team arrived at the village and inspected the car.
Earlier, the Delhi Police sounded an alert across all police stations, posts, and border checkpoints in the national capital to trace the red Ford EcoSport car.
The alert was issued after the investigation revealed that other suspects, already connected to the Hyundai i20 used in the explosion, were also in possession of another red-coloured car.
Sources said the red Ford EcoSport is registered in the name of Dr Umar Un Nabi, who was allegedly driving the car before the blast occurred.
The Delhi police had shared the car's registration details to all border units, and with the Uttar Pradesh and Haryana Police to intensify the search. The vehicle was suspected to have been used by Umar for reconnaissance activities.
