Delhi Red Fort Blast Case Investigation Update:
The NIA (National Investigation Agency) has achieved a major breakthrough in the Delhi Red Fort car bomb blast case. They arrested the individual who, alongside a suicide bomber, carried out this terrorist plot.
The arrested individual is named Amir Rashid Ali. The car used in the explosion was registered in his name. The NIA arrested him in Delhi. Initially, the Delhi Police were conducting the investigation, but the case was later handed over to the NIA. Upon taking the case, the NIA launched an extensive search operation, during which Amir was apprehended.
Investigations reveal that Amir hails from Sambura, Pampore in Jammu and Kashmir. He planned the attack in collaboration with Pulwama's Umar un Nabi. Amir traveled to Delhi to facilitate the purchase of the car, which was later used as an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) in the attack.
Notably, Amir was detained on November 11. However, after extensive interrogation establishing his involvement, he was formally arrested on Sunday.

Identification of the Suicide Bomber
The NIA identified the driver in the explosive-laden car during the incident through forensic analysis. His identity is confirmed as Umar un Nabi. Umar was from Pulwama and served as an Assistant Professor in General Medicine at Al-Falah University, Faridabad, Haryana. This alarming connection between a doctor and terrorist activities is shocking.
Other Vehicles Seized, Investigation Ongoing
The NIA seized another vehicle belonging to Umar un Nabi, which is currently under investigation for more evidence. The agency has so far interrogated 73 witnesses, including those injured in the blast. The explosion on November 10 in Delhi shook the entire nation.

They are meticulously unraveling the individuals and organizations involved in this large-scale conspiracy. The case is filed under RC-21/2025/NIA/DLI and has expanded nationally.

Interrogations of 20 Doctors, Only Four Main Suspects in Custody
The scope of the security agencies' investigation in the Delhi blast case is continuously widening, yet no official figures have been published. Sources, however, indicate that over 20 doctors have been interrogated, most of whom were released afterward.
Similarly, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have detained about 200 individuals based on suspicious activities, although many were later released. Agencies state that the probe is still in its initial phase, hence most actions are based on suspicion.
According to sources, no arrests have been made based on concrete evidence, except for key suspects with prima facie evidence against them. These include Dr. Adil, Dr. Muzammil, Dr. Shaheen, and Maulvi Irfan.
These four individuals have been formally arrested as the main subjects of the case. All others are held purely for questioning and confirmation of suspicious activities.
The investigating agencies state that the entire module appears organized and technically adept, thus the investigation is advancing on multiple levels. Agencies are refraining from making any official statements yet as the inquiry is still in its infancy.

Meanwhile, security agencies continued their investigation at Al-Falah University. Raids persisted in search of leads related to Dr. Umar un Nabi, the main accused, and his network. During the course of the day's actions, two suspects alleged to be close associates of Umar un Nabi were arrested.
Another significant discovery revealed that the cartridges found at the explosion site are of limited range—9mm caliber. Teams are working rigorously to trace the source of these cartridges and how they arrived at the site. Agencies are pursuing various angles to comprehend the network behind the explosives used.
Now, the investigation is also veering towards prominent suspects and potential foreign connections. Security agencies assert that this module appears exceptionally organized and technologically-capable, probing each lead with acute attention.

During investigations, significant evidence was also collected from Al-Falah University. Umar allegedly parked the car there temporarily, where explosives were also discovered.
According to investigative agencies, Umar and his associates ran a 'white-collar' terrorism module involving individuals from the medical field.
