Overview
- Recovered messages attributed to Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather show repeated requests for an advance between September 5 and 9 that agencies link to the bombing’s finances.
- Officials say the plot was funded by roughly Rs 26 lakh, with Adeel contributing about Rs 8 lakh and being described by a co‑accused as the group’s treasurer.
- The National Investigation Agency reports seven arrests so far, including a Faridabad man accused of sheltering the suicide bomber and helping with logistics.
- A Hyundai i20 rigged with IEDs exploded near the Red Fort, killing people and injuring dozens, hours after police seized a large cache of explosives at Al‑Falah University in Faridabad.
- Following Adeel’s arrest, investigators recovered an AK‑56 rifle from an Anantnag college locker, and medical regulators have canceled registrations of doctors linked to the module.
