The first photo of Dr. Umar, suspected to be the suicide bomber in the Delhi blast case, has surfaced. He was driving the white Hyundai i20 that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday evening, killing at least nine people.
CCTV footage shows that the Hyundai i20 involved in the Red Fort Metro Station blast was parked for nearly three hours before the explosion — from 3:19 pm to 6:48 pm.

Delhi Police sources said investigators
are reviewing the footage to identify who parked and retrieved the vehicle, trace its movement to the traffic signal, and question the parking attendant as part of the ongoing probe.
According to sources, Dr Umar U Nabi, son of Gh Nabi Bhat, was employed as a doctor at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad. His mother, Shamima Banoo, hails from Koil in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir. Born on February 24, 1989, Dr Umar was reportedly a close associate of Dr Adeel, another suspect under investigation in the ongoing terror network probe.
Sources said Umar’s father, a government school teacher who is mentally unwell, left his job about 10–15 years ago. He has two brothers and an elder sister — one brother and the sister are married, while the other brother is unmarried. Both brothers and his mother have been detained by police for questioning.
Officials believe Dr Umar was part of a group of medical professionals radicalised through encrypted Telegram channels, forming what investigators are now calling the “Faridabad module.” Sources said he completed his MD in Medicine from Government Medical College, Srinagar, worked as a senior resident at GMC Anantnag, and later moved to Delhi. He was serving as an Assistant Professor at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad at the time of the blast.
