Turkiye Rejects Link to Radicalisation Claims in Delhi Blast Probe

Ankara labels reports tying it to the investigation as disinformation.

Overview

  • Turkey’s communications directorate said claims it fostered radicalisation targeting India are baseless and part of a disinformation campaign.
  • Indian investigators have reported that two suspects in Monday’s car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort travelled to Turkiye.
  • The blast killed 12 people and injured several others when a slow-moving car exploded at a traffic signal near the Red Fort metro station.
  • Probe teams have identified a ‘white-collar’ module of largely medical professionals, naming Dr Umar Nabi and arresting Dr Muzammil Ganaie.
  • Authorities say radicalisation traces to encrypted Telegram channels, including one allegedly linked to a Jaish-e-Mohammad operative in Pakistan, as they map possible overseas support networks.
