The rush hour explosion in the Indian capital last Monday killed at least 13 people
The car blast near the Red Fort metro station in Delhi on November 10 that claimed at least 13 lives was a suicide attack, India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said.
It was the first car-borne suicide attack in India's capital city, and the second since the Pulwama terror attack in southern Kashmir in 2019, when a bomber rammed a car into a bus, killing 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel.
The NIA has also arrested a Kashmiri resident for allegedly conspiring with the driver of the car to carry out the terror attack in Delhi.
"Amir Rashid Ali, in whose name the car involved in the attack was registered, was arrested from Delhi... The accused, a resident of Samboora, Pampore in J&K [Jammu and Kashmir], had conspired with the alleged suicide bomber, Umar Un Nabi, to unleash the terror attack," the NIA said in a statement on Sunday.
The NIA is also examining "another vehicle" belonging to Umar, which it seized.
Nine people were killed and over 30 injured in a powerful explosion at a police station in Nowgam, Kashmir, on Friday. The explosion occurred when the forensic team was inspecting material recovered in a case linked to the Delhi blast.
A terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir in April, which killed 26 people and led to a limited conflict between India and Pakistan, has escalated tensions between the neighboring South Asian countries. New Delhi has not yet blamed Islamabad for the Red Fort blast.
