Srinagar: Security forces have demolished the Pulwama residence of Dr. Umar Nabi, the man who drove the explosive-laden car used in the Delhi blast, officials said on Friday.
The demolition was carried out during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, they added.
The car blast near the Red Fort on Monday night claimed 13 lives and left several others injured.
Investigators confirmed Umar’s identity after DNA samples collected from the blast site matched those of his mother. He was driving the Hyundai i20 packed with explosives at the time of the incident.
Once regarded as an academically accomplished professional, Umar is believed to have undergone radicalisation over the past two years, with officials stating he had been active on multiple radical messaging groups on social media.
