Overview
- Investigators say Umar un‑Nabi’s brother led police to a dumped handset, from which forensic teams extracted multiple videos later shared with the NIA and SIA.
- The recovered clips include an 80‑second recording in which Umar defends so‑called “martyrdom operations,” evidence officials are using to establish radicalisation and recruitment.
- NIA custody was granted for co‑accused Jasir Bilal Wani over alleged technical support, while the Enforcement Directorate arrested Al‑Falah group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui under money‑laundering provisions.
- Police are verifying contacts from Umar’s call records and examining coded terms such as “Biryani” and “dawat,” with sources saying the group discussed a possible December 6 attack timeline.
- CCTV, eyewitness accounts and surveillance place Umar slipping out of Al‑Falah after a co‑accused’s arrest, being picked up in the white i20, hiding in Nuh, and entering Delhi before the blast, as residents and students report heavy disruption.
