The explosion took place outside one of India's most significant monuments during rush hour on Monday evening. Initially, eight people were confirmed dead, but the figure had risen to 13 by Friday as more victims succumbed to their injuries. It is one of the deadliest terror attacks to target India's capital in more than a decade."

During a raid of one of the doctors' homes in the city of Faridabad, in Haryana state, police said they had uncovered 2,900kg of explosives materials as well as chemicals, detonators and assault rifles, which they now believe were being readied for a multi-target attack."
