A physician suspected of orchestrating a deadly car explosion near Delhi's Red Fort waited over three hours in a parking lot, unaware the monument was closed on Mondays. His failed plan to detonate explosives in a crowded area led to a blast at a nearby traffic signal that killed nine people. Investigators have traced his journey through Delhi and are examining whether Connaught Place was an alternate target in this attack linked to recently seized explosives in Faridabad.
