Pulwama: House of Red Fort blast suspect blown up by security forces
Security forces carried out a controlled demolition at the Pulwama home of Dr Umar-un-Nabi, a key suspect in the Red Fort explosion earlier this week. Officials said the house was brought down using an improvised explosive device during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday as part of the ongoing investigation.
Authorities have linked the Hyundai i20 used in Monday’s Red Fort blast which killed 13 people and left more than 20 injured, to Dr Umar, a doctor from Kashmir who is believed to have been driving the vehicle. His exact involvement in the attack is still being probed.
Soon after the explosion, the Jammu and Kashmir Police launched overnight search operations and detained six persons, including three members of Dr Umar’s family. Investigators said Umar had reportedly been in contact with two other Kashmiri doctors who were arrested earlier in connection with the Faridabad terror module, where authorities had seized 2,900 kg of explosives.
