ED Arrests Al Falah Chairman as NIA Widens Red Fort Blast Probe

An ED arrest of Al Falah’s chairman signals the probe’s pivot to money trails.

Overview

  • Enforcement Directorate teams raided more than 25 Al Falah-linked sites and arrested chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui under PMLA, seizing about Rs 48 lakh and examining suspected shell entities.
  • The NIA detained Jasir Bilal Wani in Srinagar for allegedly providing technical support by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets, and secured 10-day custody of vehicle owner Amir Rashid Ali for logistics and a safe house.
  • Investigators identified Dr Umar un Nabi as the suicide bomber through DNA analysis and recovered a video in which he discussed and justified “martyrdom operations.”
  • Agencies describe a tightly coordinated module using encrypted platforms and coded language, with investigators saying more arrests are likely across multiple states.
  • Raids linked to the Faridabad hub recovered roughly 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate, detonators and firearms, as the blast’s toll stands at 15 dead and at least 32 injured.
