Security forces have demolished the Pulwama residence of Dr. Umar Mohammed, identified as the individual who triggered the car blast near Delhi&rsquo;s Red Fort on November 10. 
The operation, conducted overnight, involved a controlled explosion and was part of an intensified crackdown on terror modules linked to the incident.
Investigators confirmed Umar&rsquo;s presence in the Hyundai i20 that exploded near a traffic signal on Netaji Subhash Marg after DNA samples collected from the blast site matched those taken from his mother. 
The explosion killed 12 people and injured several others, prompting heightened security across the national capital.
Newly surfaced CCTV footage shows Umar driving the same vehicle in Connaught Place around 2.05 p.m. on the day of the explosion.
He was reportedly seen circling the Outer Circle before moving toward Mayur Vihar and subsequently heading to the Red Fort area.
On Thursday, investigators located another vehicle,a Maruti Brezza,&nbsp; that was initially unaccounted for. 
Authorities are examining why the module used multiple vehicles, including an EcoSport belonging to Umar that was recovered in Faridabad. 
Sources indicated the group had been planning a series of car bombings, but the plan was disrupted after the Red Fort explosion.
The powerful blast at 6.52 p.m. on November 10 triggered immediate security responses and raised concerns over a breach in the high-security zone surrounding the historic monument. 
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the probe, conducting detailed forensic examinations of debris, explosive residues, vehicle fragments, and digital evidence.
On Wednesday, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, directed that the investigation be pursued with the &ldquo;utmost urgency&rdquo; to identify and bring all &ldquo;perpetrators&rdquo; and &ldquo;sponsors&rdquo; to justice. 
The Cabinet observed two minutes of silence in memory of the victims and described the explosion as &ldquo;a heinous terror incident perpetrated by anti-national forces&rdquo;.
In a related development, the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) suspended the membership of Al-Falah University in Faridabad, where Umar worked as a doctor.
The demolition of Umar&rsquo;s house is aimed at sending a strong message to those involved in or supporting terrorist activities. 
Similar action was taken earlier against individuals linked to the Pahalgam terror attack.
