Delhi 10/11 Blast Update: Arrested Doctors Pooled ₹26 Lakh for Red Fort Car Blast
Elite medics bankrolled Red Fort carnage.
In a shocking revelation that has sent tremors through India’s security establishment, four highly qualified doctors—arrested as part of the elite "white-collar terror module"—pooled more than Rs 26 lakh in cold cash over several months to finance the meticulously planned car bombing near Delhi’s historic Red Fort, which brutally claimed 13 innocent lives and injured dozens on Monday evening, according to senior investigative officials speaking on Thursday.
The accused quartet—Dr Muzammil Ganaie, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Shaheen Sayeed, and Dr Umar Nabi—operated with chilling precision, collecting contributions in untraceable cash before entrusting the entire sum to Dr Umar Nabi, a 32-year-old assistant professor of medicine from Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district, who was studying at Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana; Umar was designated as the group’s treasurer and final executor, safeguarding the funds in secure locations until deployment for the deadly mission.
Using a fraction of the war chest—approximately Rs 3 lakh—the group covertly procured a staggering 26 quintals of NPK fertiliser from multiple suppliers across Gurugram, Nuh, and surrounding towns in Haryana, a chemical cocktail that, when blended with other volatile additives, forms the backbone of devastating Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs); forensic analysis and DNA evidence have now conclusively confirmed that Dr Umar Nabi was the suicide bomber behind the wheel of the rigged Hyundai i20 when it detonated in a crowded commercial zone.

Investigators are now deep-diving into encrypted financial trails, delivery manifests, and supplier testimonies to map the full network, treating the massive fertiliser acquisition as a critical breakthrough in unraveling a larger transnational terror conspiracy; sources reveal that in the tense days leading up to the blast, a bitter internal dispute erupted between Umar and Dr Muzammil Ganaie over fund allocation and operational control, raising urgent questions about whether this rift accelerated the attack timeline or compromised security protocols.
This case lays bare a terrifying evolution in domestic terrorism: highly educated professionals—once trusted healers—weaponizing their intellect, access, and social camouflage to orchestrate mass murder, forcing intelligence agencies to rethink threat profiles and intensify surveillance on seemingly respectable circles across academia, healthcare, and beyond.
