#BreakingNews: Delhi Blast Car Owner Connected to Faridabad Terror Network, Sources Confirm
Red Fort blast kills 13, linked to Kashmir docs.
In a chilling escalation, the deadly blast near Delhi's Red Fort on November 10, killing 13 and injuring dozens, has been tied to a sophisticated terror network involving highly educated professionals from Jammu and Kashmir. The vehicle—a white sedan registered in Pulwama—was owned by Dr. Umar Mohammad, a local physician who allegedly panicked and triggered the device after learning of sweeping arrests. Eyewitnesses described a fireball engulfing the busy intersection, sending shockwaves through the historic area just hours before evening prayers.
Delhi Police have officially classified the incident as a terror attack, invoking stringent UAPA sections 16 and 18 for terrorism and conspiracy, alongside Explosive Substances Act clauses and charges of murder and attempted murder. Sources reveal Dr. Umar was frantically driving toward central Delhi—possibly Connaught Place or India Gate—when he detonated the bomb after two module linchpins, Dr. Mujammil Shakeel and Dr. Adil Rather, were apprehended in Haryana. Forensic teams are analyzing residue to confirm the exact explosive composition and trigger mechanism.
The explosion relied on a massive quantity of ammonium nitrate, the same industrial chemical recovered in staggering 2,900 kg hauls from two Faridabad hideouts rented by Dr. Shakeel over three years. In coordinated 15-day operations, Haryana and J&K Police unearthed 350 kg of explosives, 20 digital timers, AK-pattern rifles, pistols, and thousands of rounds from Dhoj and Fatehpur Taga villages—exposing a "white collar" Jaish-e-Muhammad cell orchestrated by Pakistan-based handlers who radicalized professionals online and through encrypted apps.

A sprawling multi-agency investigation—led by Delhi Police Special Cell, NIA, NSG bomb squads, Intelligence Bureau, UP ATS, Haryana STF, and Gujarat Police—is interrogating over a dozen suspects round-the-clock. In Pulwama, J&K Police detained Tariq, a middleman in the car’s murky ownership chain that passed from an initial buyer Aamir to him, then to Dr. Umar in a clear attempt to obscure terror financing trails. Home Minister Amit Shah, briefing the PMO, reiterated that cross-border links and sleeper cell activations remain prime focus areas.
As Delhi remains on maximum alert with drone surveillance over markets and VIP zones, this audacious strike by radicalized elites—doctors turned bomb-makers—has exposed a dangerous new frontier in urban terrorism. The scorched remains near Chandni Chowk serve as a grim reminder that even trusted professionals can be weaponized, shattering public faith in one of India’s most celebrated heritage zones.
