A few hours after the Delhi Police sounded an alert across the national capital for a red Ford EcoSport car suspected to be linked to the Red Fort blast case, the police found it abandoned at a farmhouse at Khandavali village in Haryana.
The Ford EcoSport car carried the number plate DL10CK0458.
The Delhi Police had sounded an alert across all police stations, posts, and border checkpoints in the national capital on Wednesday (November 12) after the investigation revealed that other suspects, already connected to the Hyundai i20 used in the explosion, were also in possession of another red car.
