Overview
- Newly reviewed footage shows Dr Umar un-Nabi slipping out a side gate at Al-Falah University on October 30 and making unanswered WhatsApp calls as he began a nine-day run-up to the November 10 blast that killed 12 people.
- An eyewitness in Sirohi told police Umar ate at a street stall, charged his iPhone at a pharmacy, borrowed a relative’s handset to place a call, and later returned in a white Hyundai i20 to retrieve his phone, providing CCTV of the encounter.
- Faridabad investigators say accomplice Shoaib, a nurse at Al-Falah now in custody, drove Umar to a rented room in Nuh’s Hidayat Colony where he stayed intermittently before entering Delhi on the night of November 9.
- The Indian Express reports police recovered Umar’s dumped phone through his younger brother and extracted at least four videos, including one in which he refers to a suicide bombing as a “martyrdom operation,” with data shared with the NIA and SIA.
- The probe has widened to alleged Jaish-e-Mohammad links involving medical professionals, with multiple associates including doctors in custody, while residents in Nuh and students at Al-Falah describe disruptive police activity and mounting anxiety.
