Authorities investigating the recent Delhi car blast have uncovered a significant lead connecting the perpetrators to a Turkish handler. Dr. Umar Mohammad, whose identity as the driver of the car that detonated near the Red Fort was confirmed via DNA testing, was reportedly in communication with an individual known as ‘UKasa.’ Sources suggest this handler operates from Ankara, Turkey. Investigators are exploring the use of ‘UKasa’ as a pseudonym to conceal the handler’s real identity. There are also indications that multiple individuals from India might have visited Ankara in March 2022, possibly for radicalization purposes. The terrorists are believed to have utilized the secure ‘Session App’ for clandestine communication with ‘UKasa,’ facilitating the exchange of critical operational details. Forensic evidence, specifically DNA matching with Dr. Umar’s mother, has definitively placed him behind the wheel of the Hyundai i20 car. The devastating blast, which occurred near the Red Fort Metro Station, resulted in a tragic loss of 12 lives and numerous injuries. In response, the government has labeled the event a ‘terrorist incident’ and has mandated a swift and thorough investigation to apprehend all those responsible, from the operatives to their financiers.
