The investigation into the Delhi car blast has uncovered shocking details about the prime suspect, Umar, a suicide bomber who disappeared for 10 days before the attack. Security agencies report that Umar, a 28-year-old from Jammu and Kashmir, hid in a covert safehouse in Okhla’s Jamia Nagar, raising concerns about terror networks in Delhi.
Umar’s 10-Day Disappearance & Okhla Safehouse
Intelligence officials confirm Umar was last seen in Srinagar on June 10 before cutting off all contact. He resurfaced in Delhi just before the blast, staying in a rented apartment under a fake identity.
A joint NIA-Delhi Police raid uncovered the hideout, where forensic teams found:
– Chemicals and circuit boards
– A partially assembled explosive device
How Did Umar Evade Surveillance?
The 10-day gap has raised alarms over possible intelligence lapses. Key findings:
✔ Used fake IDs and changed appearance
✔ Switched multiple SIM cards
✔ Possibly had local support or sleeper cell help
A senior NIA official stated: “This was a well-planned operation. We suspect cross-state movement with insider assistance.”
Jammu & Kashmir Terror Link?
Umar, from Pulwama, had alleged ties to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Investigators are probing:
– Online radicalization
– Possible handlers in Pakistan
– Encrypted communication
