Overview
- Police say an 80‑second clip defending suicide attacks was extracted from a damaged phone Umar gave his brother to discard, with multiple videos shared with the NIA and SIA for analysis.
- CCTV‑based reconstruction shows Umar slipping out of Al‑Falah University after a co‑accused’s arrest on October 30, contacting numbers from a note, and later being picked up in the white Hyundai i20 used in the blast.
- Delhi Police are verifying dozens of contacts from Umar’s call records as they probe a broader conspiracy that used code terms such as “Biryani,” “dawat,” and “D6,” interpreted as references to explosives and a December 6 timeline.
- Arrests in the multi‑state investigation include three doctors linked to Al‑Falah, alleged co‑conspirator Jasir Bilal Wani now in 10‑day NIA custody, and Al‑Falah group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui detained by the ED in a money‑laundering case.
- The NIA says Umar’s identity as the bomber was confirmed by DNA matched to his mother, and investigators allege Amir Rashid Ali secured the Hyundai i20 used in the attack and is in 10‑day NIA custody.
