Shaheen Saeed and Muzammil Shakeel, the co-accused in the Delhi bomb blast case, bought a new Maruti Suzuki Brezza, which was among the thirty-two cars that were being prepped to carry explosive materials and/or deliver bombs, sources close to the investigators told NDTV on Tuesday.
A picture accessed by NDTV shows Saeed and Shakeel, both now arrested, buying the car at a showroom on September 25. Sources said they made the payment in cash.
Thirty-two cars, including the Hyundai i20 that exploded near Red Fort last Monday, killing 15 people, were meant to be part of a serial ‘revenge’ attack targeting multiple locations, including six in Delhi on December 6, the day when a mob demolished the 16th-century Babri Masjid in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya in 1992.
Some cars have now been found, including the Brezza, which was registered in Haryana as HR 87U 9988.
It was found on the campus of the Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research Centre in Haryana’s Faridabad, a varsity that is now central to the Delhi car blast case.
