Ashok Kumar, a native of Amroha, had spent the day on his usual Old Delhi route, working a cluster bus before heading home to Jagatpur.

The Hyundai i-20 car, which is at the centre of the terror blast near Red Fort, entered Delhi from Haryana’s Faridabad, according to sources in the Delhi police.

A major counterterrorism operation has busted a transnational terror module. The arrest of a Kashmiri medical professor led to the seizure of nearly 2,900kg of explosives and weapons. Investigators uncovered a network embedded in academic and professional circles. The module was allegedly linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind. Several arrests have been made across multiple states.
