New Delhi, Sep 8: Investigators probing the Delhi High Court blast have zeroed in on a Patna-based man and have launched a hunt to nab the owner of a car which is suspected to have ferried the perpetrators. “The car's owner has cheated a few people and they have told the investigators that the face of the car owner resembles the sketch of a suspect released last evening,” official sources said today.
The car has been traced to Faridabad neighbouring Delhi and efforts were on to trace the owner of the vehicle, they said.“Another man from Patna who was arrested on charges of using a stolen ATM card is being interrogated by the joint team led by NIA,” they said.
