Red Fort Blast Investigation Expands to Medical Network and Faridabad Explosives Cache

Investigators describe a professional-led module with alleged cross-border ties plus unusual money flows.

Overview

  • Police arrested physician Adeel Ahmad on November 6 in Saharanpur, later saying an AK-47 and ammunition were recovered from his GMC Anantnag locker under the Arms Act.
  • A November 9 raid in Faridabad linked to the case uncovered about 350–360 kg of ammonium nitrate, two AK-47s, 200 rounds, electronic timers, detonators and IED components that investigators say could enable multiple large attacks.
  • Agencies say Ahmad was in touch with Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed, with the NIA examining communications and roles across Delhi-NCR, Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir.
  • Financial scrutiny has flagged Rs 15–20 lakh moved from Ahmad’s Axis Bank account in Saharanpur to a sibling in Srinagar, with possible hawala routes under review.
  • The November 10 explosion near Red Fort killed 12 and injured more than 20, hospitals linked to arrested or questioned staff say they are cooperating, and a Saharanpur colleague denies rumors of detention while stating he is assisting investigators.
