Driver involved identified as authorities treat New Delhi car blast as terror incident
In New Delhi, Indian authorities are hunting for more suspects as investigation into a car blast entered its third day. The explosion left 13 people dead, with the latest victim succumbing to injuries in hospital. According to state media reports, the man driving the car that exploded has been identified as Dr Umar, and two cars linked to him have also been traced. Officials earlier confirmed they are treating the explosion as a terror incident — which gives investigators broader powers to arrest or detain people. If confirmed as a deliberate attack, it will be the deadliest such blast in the Indian capital since 2011. Neha Poonia reports from New Delhi.
