NIA Arrests Alleged Drone-Tech Aide in Red Fort Blast as ED Targets Al Falah University

Investigators say the 'white‑collar' network tested drone and rocket tactics before the blast.

Overview

  • NIA officials said they arrested Jasir Bilal Wani, alias Danish, in Srinagar on allegations he modified drones and attempted to build rockets for the plot.
  • A Delhi court remanded vehicle owner Amir Rashid Ali to 10 days of NIA custody after investigators said he facilitated the purchase and logistics for the Hyundai i20 used as a VBIED.
  • The Enforcement Directorate launched pre-dawn searches at Al Falah University’s Okhla office and multiple linked locations to examine financial trails connected to the case.
  • Officials updated the death toll to 15 after two more victims died at LNJP Hospital, with over 30 people reported injured.
  • Police earlier recovered about 2,900 kg of explosive materials in Faridabad and arrested several doctors tied to the university whose medical licences have since been revoked, as multi-state searches continue.
