F’bad circle: Doctors in the dock

5 doctors allegedly part of a network that operated in Faridabad are now the focus of the Red Fort blast probe. Here’s who they are

NEW DELHI: Dr Umar un-Nabi, a 35-year-old physician from Koil, Pulwama, is believed to have been at the wheel of the Hyundai i20 car that exploded near Delhi's Red Fort on the night of November 10, killing at least 10 people and injuring several others.

Investigators privy with the case details said that Umar appears to have “panicked” after raids in Faridabad unearthed nearly 3,000kg of ammonium nitrate from properties linked to his associates, and drove into Delhi with a detonator and explosive material in the car.

Police suspect Umar was attempting to relocate or destroy evidence after the crackdown on the module’s storage network. Though officials have identified him as the driver, DNA testing is underway to confirm the charred remains found inside the mangled vehicle. His mother and two brothers were detained from their home in Koil village, Pulwama, for questioning and DNA samples.
