Delhi Car Blast: As the probe into the Delhi car blast deepens, investigators are now trying to trace the final moments of Dr Umar Un Nabi, the man driving the explosive-laden Hyundai i20 car that killed 13 and injured nearly two dozen others. The National Investigation Agency (NIA), for the first time, on Sunday, described Nabi as the “suicide bomber”.

In their attempt to trace the alleged bomber’s final moments, investigators are finding the last two mobile phones used by Nabi. Earlier, the probe revealed that a total of five SIM cards were linked to him, Hindustan Times reported.

Additionally, the NIA brought the arrested accused, Amir Rashid Ali, to the Patiala High Court in Delhi following his detention yesterday. He was arrested for allegedly conspiring with the ‘suicide bomber’ to carry out the terror attack near the Red Fort metro station on Monday, November 10.
