Eighteen-year-old Nauman Ansari from Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district was in the city to buy cosmetics for his shop when the powerful blast near Delhi's Red Fort claimed his life.

Ansari, who hailed from Jhinjhana town in Shamli, was the sole breadwinner of his family. "Nauman was killed on the spot while his cousin Aman sustained injuries and is undergoing treatment at Lok Nayak Hospital in Delhi," Nauman's uncle, Furkan, told PTI.
