New Delhi: The investigation into the car blast near Red Fort has taken a significant turn after forensic teams recovered three cartridges, two live and one empty, of 9mm calibre from the scene, sources have said.

The sources said on Sunday that the ammunition is of a calibre prohibited for civilian possession, raising concerns about the source of the cartridges and the nature of the incident. However, officers also clarified that no pistol or any firearm component was found at the blast site, making the recovery even more puzzling for investigators.

Officials said the discovery of the cartridges is being treated as a crucial clue, but the absence of a corresponding weapon has opened multiple investigative angles.
