Multiple security agencies are on the lookout for a third car believed to be linked to the Red Fort blast case, police sources said on Thursday.

While a white Hyundai i20 exploded near Red Fort on Monday evening, killing 13 people and injuring 30 others, investigators later traced a second vehicle — a red Ford EcoSport — to Faridabad.  The impact of the blast was severe, damaging nearby vehicles and scattering debris across the area.

However, a third car, suspected to be a Maruti Brezza, remains untraced.

“The missing third car is suspected to have been used by the accused for reconnaissance or escape. Multiple teams are looking for the third car,” said the source.

Searches are being carried out in Delhi-NCR and adjoining states to locate the Maruti Brezza, he said.

The government on Wednesday termed the blast near the Red Fort as a “terrorist incident”.

A meeting of the Union Cabinet chaired by Modi upon his return from Bhutan directed investigating agencies to deal with the case with “utmost urgency and professionalism” to bring the perpetrators and their sponsors to justice without delay.

The meeting reaffirmed India’s unwavering commitment to a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
