A major breakthrough has emerged in the investigation into the November 10 car bombing near the Red Fort, which claimed 13 lives and injured 20 others. Police and intelligence agencies have revealed that the explosion was part of a larger terror conspiracy aimed at launching serial bombings across Delhi and other cities on December 6, the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition.
Terror Module Planned 32 Car Bombings
According to senior police officials, the terror module had arranged 32 vehicles—including Brezza, Swift Dzire, EcoSport, and i20 models—to be packed with explosives and detonated simultaneously at multiple locations. Investigating agencies have so far recovered three of these vehicles, while a Swift Dzire remains missing.
The central government has officially classified the Delhi car blast as a terrorist attack, and a resolution condemning the act was passed during Wednesday’s cabinet meeting.
Blast Linked to Broader Conspiracy
The car that exploded near the Red Fort on November 10, an i20, was reportedly one of the vehicles prepared for the planned December 6 serial attacks. The explosion killed 13 and left three of the 20 injured in critical condition.
The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Thursday arrested Dr. Arif, a cardiologist from Kanpur, who allegedly oversaw the operations of a female terrorist associated with the module. In a separate operation, the Jammu and Kashmir Police, along with security forces, apprehended two hybrid terrorists in Sopore’s Muminabad area.
Three Major Revelations
1. Red Fort Reconnaissance in January
Investigations have revealed that the terror plot was being developed since January 2025. Data recovered from mobile phones of the accused showed that Dr. Muzammil Ghani, an assistant professor at Al Falah University, Faridabad, and Dr. Umar Nabi (believed to have died in the blast) had conducted multiple reconnaissance missions at the Red Fort, studying its security and crowd patterns. Authorities now suspect the group initially planned to strike on Republic Day (January 26), but the plan was aborted.
2. Attack Planned for December 6
Interrogation of the eight arrested suspects revealed that Umar Nabi had intended to carry out coordinated bombings in Delhi on December 6, but the arrest of Dr. Muzammil disrupted the operation. Investigators believe this module, largely operating from Faridabad, included at least six doctors.
One of the prime suspects, Dr. Nisar, a resident of Srinagar and president of the Doctors Association of Kashmir, is currently absconding. The Jammu and Kashmir government has since dismissed him from his position.
3. Explosives Hidden as Fertilizer
Authorities have discovered that Dr. Muzammil Ghani had been stockpiling explosives in a rented room, falsely claiming they were fertilizer sacks. Neighbors recalled Muzammil bringing in bags about 20 days before his arrest. CCTV footage from a nearby house, now seized by police, shows suspicious movements linked to the operation.
Vehicle Search and NSG Involvement
Following the discovery that the terrorists may have used two cars, security agencies issued a high alert across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. This led to the recovery of an abandoned vehicle in Khandawali village, Haryana, reportedly near the residence of Omar’s driver’s sister. The NSG bomb disposal squad has reached the site and begun a detailed inspection.
A Highly Educated Terror Network
Investigators are alarmed by the fact that six of the arrested suspects are medical professionals, highlighting a growing trend of radicalization among educated individuals. Officials said the terror module operated under the guise of academia, using university facilities and professional networks to plan and execute their operations.
Ongoing Investigation
Security agencies continue to probe the funding, logistical support, and cross-border links of the group. More arrests are expected as authorities pursue leads in Delhi, Faridabad, Kanpur, and Srinagar.
