At the same time, investigating agencies in Delhi revealed a larger terror plan linked to the blast. The suspects had reportedly been preparing vehicles to carry explosives for coordinated attacks in multiple cities. The investigation also found that the attackers had planned to move in pairs and target different locations at the same time.

Several of the accused, including Dr Muzammil, Dr Adeel, Dr Umar, and Shaheen, are linked to earlier terror cases. Police said the conspiracy was stopped before any further attacks could happen.

Delhi Police confirmed that the driver of the car was Dr Umar Un Nabi. His identity was confirmed through DNA tests comparing his sample with his mother’s. Officials also said Umar’s leg was found trapped in the car, showing he was driving when the blast occurred.
