 "Delhi blast: Car that exploded near Red Fort changed hands 4 times, ownership didn't")
The ownership of the Hyundai i20 car that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday evening was passed on to four different people since 2014, without formal records, sources have told News18.
The blast in the national capital has put most parts of India on high alert, with police ramping up inspection of cars leaving and entering big cities. The incident is being investigated by multiple agencies, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and National Security Guard (NSG).
At 6:55 pm on Monday, a Hyundai i20 went up in flames near Red Fort Metro Station Gate No. 1 after it exploded, gutting several other nearby cars and killing eight people.
Here’s how the car changed hands four times
The i20 was bought by a man named Salman on March 18, 2014
The first owner, Salman, then sold the car to another man named Devendra
Devendra sold the car to Sonu
Ultimately, Sonu sold the Hyundai car to a man named Tariq
It is important to note that none of these ownership transfers were registered with the government.
Investigators discovered that a car dealer based in Faridabad was involved in one of the transactions, prompting questions about the legality of the deals.
The vehicle, registered under the number HR26CE7674, was later seen in Faridabad, Haryana, on September 20. It also has an outstanding challan for improper parking.
Who owns the car currently?
Reports suggest that the car in question is currently owned by a Pulwama-based doctor named Umar Mohammed.
Mohammed belongs to the same terror module as the two doctors who were arrested on Monday afternoon in a raid in Faridabad.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police, in a joint operation with Haryana Police, busted a major inter-state terror module linked to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and al-Qaeda-affiliated Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH).
