The Delhi Police has issued a citywide alert to all police stations, posts, and border checkpoints to trace a red Ford EcoSport suspected of being linked to the Red Fort blast case, according to sources on Wednesday.

The alert follows new investigative leads suggesting that other suspects already tied to the Hyundai i20 used in the explosion were also in possession of another red vehicle, the source added.

At least five Delhi Police teams have been mobilised to locate the car, while police in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have been asked to remain on high alert and assist in the search operation.
