Earlier in the day, officials confirmed that DNA test results have established that Dr. Umar Nabi was driving the Hyundai i20 that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday evening, killing 13 people and injuring 20 others.

According to the findings, DNA samples collected from bones, teeth, and clothing recovered from the blast site matched 100 per cent with those of Umar’s mother and brother. Umar’s mother was detained from Pulwama to provide samples for the test. “We have taken the suspect’s mother to collect DNA samples and match them with the remains found at the blast site,” a police official told news agency PTI.
