New Delhi, Nov 16 (NationPress) The investigation surrounding the car explosion near the Red Fort has taken a notable turn as forensic teams have uncovered three cartridges—two live and one spent—of 9mm caliber from the incident site, according to sources.

These sources reported on Sunday that the ammunition is classified as prohibited for civilian ownership, igniting concerns about its origin and the circumstances of the explosion. However, law enforcement officials confirmed that no firearms or weapon components were discovered at the site, adding to the enigma for investigators.

This finding is regarded as a vital clue, yet the absence of a matching weapon has prompted multiple lines of inquiry.

Forensic specialists are investigating whether the cartridges were fired on-site or if they were planted to mislead the investigation.

Earlier on Saturday, the Delhi Police Crime Branch escalated its inquiry, particularly examining potential connections to Al Falah University. Officials confirmed that two FIRs have been filed—one for cheating and another for forgery—based on the evidence collected thus far.

A team from the Crime Branch visited the university's office in Okhla, issuing a formal notice and requesting critical documents that could shed light on any irregularities linked to individuals associated with the institution. Sources indicate that this is part of a broader investigation to determine if academic or administrative processes were exploited in relation to events leading up to the explosion.

Additionally, new insights have surfaced from Nuh, where Dr. Umar Muhammad, who tragically perished in the blast, was reportedly seen moving about for several hours prior to the explosion. Investigators have discovered that he had rented a room behind the Goyal Ultrasound Centre for ten days, with arrangements made by Shoeb, an electrician at Al Falah University.

The rented space, found locked after the explosion, has been subjected to raids by teams from the Delhi Police, NIA, and CIA Nuh, who believe it may hold crucial evidence. Surveillance footage from the nearby ultrasound center is under close analysis, with initial frames capturing the i20 vehicle involved in the blast, potentially aiding in reconstructing Umar's movements.

Multiple teams from the NIA, Delhi Police, and Haryana Police are actively searching through Nuh and surrounding areas to track down anyone who may have interacted with Dr. Umar or might be connected to the explosive device.
