In a major development in the investigation into the car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, the Delhi Police have recovered 9mm cartridges from the incident site. These include two live cartridges and one empty shell. Notably, such ammunition is banned for civilian use.
Investigators suspect the cartridges may have been linked to terror suspect Dr. Umar, as ordinary citizens cannot legally possess 9mm pistols. This type of ammunition is typically used only by security forces and police personnel. According to sources, the most striking detail is that no pistol or weapon parts were found at the scene.
