New CCTV and Photo Deepen Red Fort Car‑Bomb Probe as DNA Links Ex‑Medical Instructor

DNA identification of former medical instructor Umar Nabi is steering a wider multi‑state terror probe.

Overview

  • CCTV from a Faridabad shop shows the suspect, identified as Dr Umar Un Nabi, using two mobile phones and asking a shopkeeper to charge one in the days before the blast.
  • Authorities say the devices were discarded or hidden before he entered Delhi on November 10, leaving no phones on him at the time of the explosion near the Red Fort.
  • A newly circulated photograph shows Umar in doctor’s attire; investigators say he previously taught at Al‑Falah Medical College in Faridabad.
  • Forensic teams confirmed through DNA that Umar was driving the white Hyundai i20 that detonated near the Red Fort metro station, killing at least 13 people and injuring dozens.
  • Security forces demolished his family home in Koil village, Pulwama, during a pre‑dawn operation as police detained several acquaintances tied to Al‑Falah and ran checks at car and chemical outlets across the Kashmir Valley.
