DNA Confirms Red Fort Car Bomber Was Dr. Umar, Probe Widens to Doctor Network

Investigators are zeroing in on a Faridabad-based doctor module following arrests and weapons seizures.

Overview

  • Police say a 100% DNA match with the suspect’s mother confirms Dr. Umar Mohammad was driving the i20 that exploded near Red Fort on November 10, a blast that killed 12 people.
  • CCTV places Umar at Old Delhi’s Faiz‑e‑Ilahi mosque for about 10 minutes shortly before the explosion, with separate footage tracing his movements through the city.
  • Security agencies have arrested doctor Shaheen Siddiqui in the case, reporting the recovery of an AK‑47, a pistol and large quantities of ammunition, while her brother Parvez is in custody for questioning.
  • Evidence gathered at Faridabad’s Al‑Falah University includes devices, pen drives and chemicals from a hostel room identified by investigators as a meeting point for the alleged doctor module.
  • Counter‑Intelligence Kashmir conducted coordinated raids at 13 locations as the multi‑agency investigation expands, while Old Delhi markets remain subdued and a separate Mahipalpur loud‑blast report was ruled a bus tyre burst.
