All police stations, posts, and border checkpoints were instructed to urgently look out for the vehicle, which was eventually traced to a farmhouse in Haryana.

According to sources, the property in Haryana’s Khandawali village belongs to Umar’s friend, who has been detained and is being questioned. As of Wednesday evening, the vehicle was being searched by forensic and ballistic experts, sources said.

The car was used mainly by Umar's colleague, Dr Muzamil Shakeel Ganai, another member of the alleged terror module who was arrested before the Red Fort blast.
