NEW DELHI: Two days after the deadly car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort, the post-mortem report has revealed chilling new details about the blast’s devastating impact.The initial findings, released on Wednesday, indicate that the victims suffered severe injuries, including multiple fractures, head trauma and internal organ damage. At least 12 people were killed when a Hyundai i20 car exploded near the Lal Quila Metro Station on Monday evening.According to the post-mortem report, the blast wave caused extensive damage to the lungs, ears and abdominal organs. The explosion has resulted in rupturing eardrums, lungs and intestines, pointing to the high intensity of the blast. The injuries were largely concentrated on the upper body, head and chest, suggesting that several victims were thrown against walls or the ground by the force of the blast. The causes of death include deep wounds and excessive bleeding, with cross-injury patterns consistent with a high-impact shockwave, news agency ANI reported. During the post-mortem examination, no splinter traces were found on the victims’ bodies or clothing. Investigators said that the exact type of explosive used will be determined after forensic analysis. Swab samples from the deceased have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Rohini for further testing, after metal pieces and foreign particles were recovered from the bodies. In a related development, the FSL has collected DNA samples from the mother of the main suspect, Dr Umar Un Nabi, who was allegedly driving the i20 car at the time of the explosion.Her samples have been sent to the AIIMS forensic laboratory for further verification, according to sources.Police sources added that Umar’s vehicle was earlier sighted on the Mumbai Expressway and the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway, before it entered Delhi. Investigating agencies are now examining CCTV footage to trace the car’s movement and determine whether any other vehicle was accompanying it.Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has formed a dedicated and comprehensive team to probe what officials are now calling a terror-related incident. The team, operating under senior officers of the rank of Superintendent of Police and above, will ensure a coordinated and in-depth investigation.The move came a day after the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) formally handed over the case to the NIA, citing a terror angle behind the blast. The agency has since registered a case and launched a detailed investigation to identify those responsible and uncover any broader network involved. The NIA is also coordinating with other central and state security agencies as part of its ongoing probe.The explosion occurred around 7 pm on Monday at the Subhash Marg traffic signal, near the Red Fort Metro Station. The high-intensity blast ripped through a slow-moving Hyundai i20 car, killing at least 12 people and injuring several others. The shockwave damaged nearby vehicles and prompted a nationwide security alert.
