The devastating blast near Delhi’s Red Fort on the evening of November 10 continues to haunt the city. Even three days later, authorities are still discovering the remains of victims. In the latest development, a severed hand was found on the roof of a gate in a market nearly 500 meters from the blast site, underlining the sheer intensity of the explosion.
Following the discovery, police immediately sealed off the area for investigation. The explosion, which occurred in an i20 car near a red light, left behind mangled vehicles and widespread destruction. The post-mortem reports of the victims have now been released, revealing the horrifying internal impact of the blast.
Post-Mortem Findings Reveal Extent of Destruction
A total of 12 people lost their lives in the Delhi blast. According to forensic reports, the victims suffered multiple fractures, severe head injuries, and internal ruptures. The blast’s shockwaves were so powerful that many had torn eardrums, damaged lungs, and ruptured intestines.
Experts stated that the internal injuries were consistent with the effects of a high-intensity explosion, with several victims sustaining trauma from being hurled against nearby walls and vehicles.
DNA Confirms Dr. Umar Was the Driver
Investigations have also confirmed the identity of the man inside the i20 car. DNA tests matched samples from the remains found in the vehicle with those of Dr. Umar’s mother, officially confirming that Dr. Umar was indeed driving the car at the time of the explosion.
CCTV footage captured Umar moments before the blast, and DNA evidence has now conclusively established that he died in the explosion.
Police Continue Search for Clues
Authorities are continuing to comb through the blast site and nearby areas to collect forensic evidence. With body parts still being recovered even days later, investigators believe the blast was far more powerful than initially estimated.
As Delhi mourns the victims of this horrific tragedy, the focus now turns to uncovering the full motive and network behind the blast that shook the heart of the capital.
