Overview
- Thirteen people were killed and more than 20 injured when a Hyundai i20 exploded near the Red Fort Metro gate on November 10, police and hospital officials said.
- The case was transferred to the National Investigation Agency after Delhi Police registered UAPA sections, and forensic tests confirmed the driver as Pulwama-based doctor Umar un Nabi.
- Multi-state raids linked to a Faridabad-centered network recovered roughly 2,500–2,900 kg of explosive precursors along with weapons, and a red Ford EcoSport tied to the group was seized in Khandawali, Faridabad.
- Officials say key suspects traveled to Türkiye in 2021 and had links to JeM and AGuH, with data and interrogations indicating Red Fort reconnaissance in January and plans considered for December 6 and Republic Day.
- Investigators are examining whether the detonation was premature after arrests and seizures disrupted the plot, while authorities track encrypted communications, pooled funding and fertiliser purchases, and Delhi announced compensation for victims.
