Pulwama resident Jaish-e-Mohammed
Extremist's vehicle suspected
The exploded i20 vehicle apparently belongs to Dr. Umar, a resident of Pulwama. Since the vehicle had several previous owners, an official statement in this regard is yet to be made by the authorities. The Delhi Police, which has examined more than 100 CCTVs, has also said that Umar was driving the vehicle moments before the explosion. The vehicle was moving slowly near a signal light when the explosion occurred, and it is also apparent that Umar was also in the vehicle at the time. Yesterday, Jammu and Delhi Police had seized 350 kg of explosives and several weapons from members of the same militant organization Jaish-e-Mohammed in Faridabad near New Delhi. Delhi Police sources have also given statements to some media that Umar belonged to the same organization. Delhi Police sources have said that ammonium nitrate fuel oil was used as an explosive.
