Police Probe Link Between Faridabad’s 2,900 Kg Explosives Haul and Red Fort Car Blast

Investigators are probing a suspected white‑collar module inside academic and medical institutions, with a Pulwama doctor identified on CCTV as a central lead.

Overview

  • Faridabad Police say nearly 2,900 kg of explosive and inflammable material, largely suspected ammonium nitrate, plus rifles, pistols and IED components were seized from properties tied to a Kashmiri doctor.
  • Preliminary findings point to a connection between the Faridabad cache and Monday’s Hyundai i20 explosion near the Red Fort Metro station, which left multiple people dead and many injured.
  • CCTV footage places Dr Umar Mohammed of Pulwama in the suspect car for hours before detonation; his precise status remains unconfirmed as police detain relatives and local associates for questioning.
  • J&K, Haryana and Delhi teams report multiple arrests linked to a ‘white‑collar’ network that allegedly operated through academic and professional channels with purported ties to JeM and AGuH.
  • Police are searching Al‑Falah University premises, tracing the car’s ownership chain and funding routes, and clarifying that the primary haul involved ammonium nitrate as national agencies prepare to expand the probe.
