Delhi Red Fort Blast: Key Accused Linked, Suspect May Have Been 'Shoe Bomber'
Police found a connection between two main suspects in the Delhi Red Fort blast case.
One suspect might have used a special kind of bomb hidden in his shoe.
They also found some clues near the blast site and are searching a university where the suspects worked.
Investigation reveals a woman from Lucknow as the 'only human link' between Dr. Umar Nabi and Dr. Muzammil Ganaie.
She warned Dr. Muzammil about Dr. Umar's 'spectacular September plan' in July.
Dr. Umar may have concealed a triggering mechanism inside his shoe, similar to a 'shoe bomber' method.
Three 9mm cartridges were found near the blast site, suggesting possible activity inside or around the vehicle before detonation.
