Investigators have zeroed in on a Pulwama-based doctor, Umar Mohammad, who was driving the car used in the explosion that claimed 12 lives, and had alleged links to the terror module busted with the recovery of explosives mainly from neighbouring Faridabad in Haryana.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police took a DNA sample from Nabi's mother to establish the relationship.
Findings of the initial probe into the blast near the Red Fort suggest it may have been 'accidentally triggered' while a hastily assembled explosive device was being transported. Police are probing all angles, including a suicide bomber attack.
The Red Fort blast on a busy Monday evening came hours after eight people, including three doctors, were arrested and 2,900 kg of explosives seized with the uncovering of a 'white collar' terror module involving the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind and spanning Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
Among those arrested on Monday were Dr Muzammil Ganaie and Dr Shaheen Sayeed, both connected to the Al-Falah University in Faridabad. Shaheen was leading the Jaish-e-Mohammed's women recruitment wing in India. She headed the Jamaat-ul-Mominat, the group's female wing.
The Delhi Forensic Science Laboratory has collected 40 samples from the blast site, which include mangled remains of the vehicle and human body parts, and these will be analysed for chemical traces.
While no terror organisation has claimed responsibility for the attack, investigators suspect the involvement of Jaish-e-Mohammed.

The blast probe has been handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
