Recovered Phone Yields Video of Red Fort Bomber Defending 'Martyrdom Operations' as Probe Widens

Forensic extraction from a device linked to Dr Umar un Nabi is now guiding investigators as they map a white‑collar module and examine plans for further strikes.

Overview

  • Investigators say the undated clip was retrieved from Umar’s phone that his brother dumped in a waterbody, with forensic teams extracting multiple videos now shared with central agencies.
  • The NIA has identified Umar as the car bomber through DNA matched to his mother, as arrests of doctors tied to Al Falah University and seizures of roughly 2,900 kg of explosive precursors underpin the case.
  • Delhi Police Special Cell is verifying dozens of contacts from two missing phones and assessing coded terms such as “Biryani,” “dawat” and “D6,” which sources say may point to plans for additional attacks under probe.
  • A Delhi court sent accused associate Jasir Bilal Wani to 10 days of NIA custody, and the Enforcement Directorate arrested Al‑Falah group chairman during financial-crimes searches linked to the network.
  • The video’s circulation prompted political responses, with AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi condemning the justification of suicide attacks and BJP and Congress trading accusations over radicalisation and accountability.
