NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police has ramped up security checks across the national capital in the wake of the recovery of around 360 kg of suspected ammonium nitrate and a cache of arms and ammunition in Haryana’s Faridabad, an officer said on Monday.

The arms were seized from a Kashmiri doctor’s rented accommodation in the neighbouring city.

As it happened, a high-intensity blast ripped through a car parked near the Red Fort Monday evening, leaving multiple vehicles in flames and window panes in smithereens. Several people are feared injured, officials said.
