Overview
- Police say Umar un Nabi’s brother led them to a waterlogged dumping spot where the damaged phone was found, from which at least four videos were extracted and shared with the NIA and SIA.
- An 80–90 second undated clip shows Umar defending suicide attacks as “martyrdom,” which officials are treating as crucial evidence even as agencies have not separately authenticated the video in public statements.
- Delhi Police are verifying contacts from two missing phones, with sources citing coded terms such as “Biryani,” “dawat,” and “D6” and a reported plan to strike around December 6; these leads remain under investigation.
- The NIA earlier identified Umar as the suicide bomber through DNA matched to his mother, while three doctors linked to an alleged Jaish-e-Mohammed module have been arrested and about 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate was seized in related searches.
- NIA secured custody of co-accused Jasir Bilal Wani over alleged technical support, and the ED arrested Al-Falah group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui under PMLA, as political reactions included Owaisi condemning the video and questioning detection failures.
