Red Fort Blast Probe Finds Suspects Used Threema; Death Toll Rises to 13

The Swiss encrypted app, banned in India in 2023, enables anonymous IDs that complicate tracing.

Overview

  • Police say three doctors linked to Faridabad’s Al Falah University coordinated via Threema to plan the Delhi car blast.
  • Investigators suspect the group operated a private Threema server to share maps, layouts, documents and coded instructions.
  • Authorities are working to determine whether the suspected server was hosted in India or overseas and who else accessed it.
  • Reports say investigators are examining metadata from the suspects’ Threema communications as they map the network.
  • Police seized a red EcoSport allegedly used to ferry ammonium nitrate and say about 32 cars were being readied for serial attacks, with three seized so far.
