The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the investigations.

In a social media post Amit Shah said – “Chaired review meetings on the Delhi car blast with the senior officials. Instructed them to hunt down each and every culprit behind this incident. Everyone involved in this act will face the full wrath of our agencies.”

Tracing the time-line of the terror act, police and investigating agencies stated that on Monday the 10th the November 2025, the involved car i20 was parked near the Red Fort parking area three hours before the blast, is under suspicion.”

CCTV footage shows the vehicle entering the parking lot at 3:19 pm and leaving at 6:48 pm, during a period when the area was crowded. It was a loud explosion that took place in a moving vehicle.
Fresh CCTV footage has surfaced in connection with the car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort Metro Station, showing the Haryana-registered Hyundai i20, the same vehicle that later exploded, at a pollution-check centre in Faridabad on October 29 at around 4:20 p.m., just days before the blast.
According to investigators, the footage captured three individuals inside the car while a pollution certificate was being issued.

Various media reports suggests that among those in the car was a man with a long beard, identified as Tariq, in whose name the vehicle had been purchased by Dr. Mohammad Umar Nabi.

The location is reportedly near a petrol pump along the Delhi-Mumbai-Vadodara Expressway service lane in Faridabad.

Delhi Police believe Dr. Umar Nabi, a resident of Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir, was driving the vehicle at the time of the explosion and may have detonated the explosives himself.

The car, bearing registration number HR 26-CE 7674, is registered under the name of Mohammad Salman at the Gurugram RTO.

Delhi Police have detained Salman, who claimed he sold the vehicle about 18 months ago.

His wife, Farah’s mobile phone has been seized for forensic examination.
Investigators traced Salman’s previous residence in Gurugram’s Shanti Nagar through the registration address, where landlord Dinesh revealed that Salman had moved out five years ago.

Police detained Dinesh for questioning before locating Salman at a housing society in Sohna. Salman, his brother Javed, and Dinesh are currently under interrogation.
Farah, Salman’s wife, told police that the car had been exchanged through a dealership named “Symphony Motors” and that they had no knowledge of who subsequently bought it.
