Bilal died after sustaining critical injuries in Monday’s car explosion near the Red Fort, which claimed 13 lives and left at least 20 others injured.
Speaking to Kashmir Life, SSP Khalil Poswal said authorities were in coordination with Delhi Police. “It has been confirmed that one person from the Baba Nagri Kangan area succumbed to injuries sustained in the Delhi blast. We are expecting to receive his body soon,” he said.
The explosion occurred at 6:52 pm, on Monday, when a slow-moving Hyundai i20 detonated near the historic Red Fort.
Preliminary investigations suggest the blast involved Dr Umar Nabi, who died in the explosion and is believed to have been part of a network allegedly planning terror attacks. In connection with the case, authorities have arrested dozens of individuals, including some medical professionals.
Meanwhile, investigative agencies continue to examine the circumstances of the explosion, verify the identities of all the victims, and probe the scope of the suspected terror network.
