Delhi Blast Car That Changed Four Owners Sparks Terror Probe Across North Delhi

Delhi Blast Car Changed Four Owners Since 2014: Massive UAPA Probe Launched After North Delhi Explosion

A Hyundai i20, now known as the Delhi Blast Car, has become the center of an intense police investigation after it was linked to the deadly explosion near Red Fort Metro Station. The car, which had reportedly changed hands four times since 2014, moved across several North Delhi neighborhoods before the blast. Authorities have invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) as they explore the possibility of a terror plot.

Suspicious Movements Before the Explosion

Police reports indicate that the vehicle was first spotted around 1 pm on Monday as it traveled through several crowded and sensitive areas, including Kashmiri Gate, Daryaganj, Sunehri Masjid, and near the Red Fort. Surveillance footage shows the car moving unusually slowly and stopping for brief periods at certain junctions, prompting security alerts. The Delhi Blast Car, bearing registration number HR26CE7674, was flagged by multiple traffic cameras before the explosion occurred later in the evening around 6:55 pm.

A Tragic Evening Near Red Fort

At least eight people were killed and 24 others sustained injuries when the Hyundai i20 exploded near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station. The sudden explosion sent shockwaves through Delhi, raising immediate fears of a coordinated terror attack. Emergency teams, including the National Security Guard (NSG) and Delhi Police’s Special Cell, rushed to the scene to collect forensic evidence. The blast has since been registered as a suspected terror act under the stringent provisions of UAPA

Complex Ownership Trail of the Blast Vehicle

Investigations have uncovered that the Delhi Blast Car was first purchased by a man named Salman on March 18, 2014. Since then, it was sold successively to Devendra, Sonu, and finally Tariq — all without any formal transfer of ownership being recorded with transport authorities. This lack of documentation has made tracing the car’s true ownership and chain of custody a complex task. Police also revealed that a Faridabad-based car dealer was involved in one of the undocumented sales, raising concerns about possible loopholes in vehicle transfer systems.

Car Spotted Earlier in Faridabad

Before the tragic incident in Delhi, the same Hyundai i20 had been seen in Faridabad, Haryana, on September 20. According to sources, a pending challan for wrongful parking is still active against the vehicle. Authorities believe that the car might have been part of a larger network operating across state borders. This has led investigators to collaborate with Haryana Police and several intelligence units to piece together the car’s complete movement history.

Legal Sections and Charges Filed

The Kotwali Police have registered a detailed case under multiple laws, including Sections 16 and 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Sections 3 and 4 of the Explosive Substances Act, and Sections 103(1), 109(1), and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). These charges pertain to terrorist acts, criminal conspiracy, and the unlawful handling of explosive materials that threaten public safety. The combination of these stringent legal provisions underscores the seriousness of the case.

Suspect Detained and Wider Probe Underway

One person has been detained in Kashmir in connection with the Delhi Blast Car case. While his role remains under investigation, officials believe the explosion might be part of a coordinated plan that spans multiple regions. Security has been tightened across Delhi, particularly in sensitive zones and near public transport hubs. Investigators are now examining the car’s digital trail, including GPS data and mobile tower signals, to reconstruct the final hours before the explosion.

Authorities on High Alert

Following the incident, Delhi Police Commissioner ordered heightened security at all major landmarks, including India Gate, Parliament Street, and Connaught Place. Checkpoints have been increased, and random vehicle inspections are being carried out to prevent further threats. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is also expected to join the probe to assess any cross-border terror linkages.

Conclusion

The case of the Delhi Blast Car that changed four owners without proper documentation has revealed serious gaps in the vehicle ownership verification process. As authorities continue to unravel the mystery, the focus remains on identifying those responsible for the Red Fort explosion and preventing any future attacks. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of stricter vehicle tracking systems and inter-state coordination in curbing such threats.
