The pilot successfully ejected and is reported to be safe. Emergency teams reached the site after debris from the aircraft was spotted. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered by the IAF to determine the cause, though the exact crash location and extent of damage are yet to be disclosed. (PC: PTI)

A car laden with explosives detonated near the Red Fort metro station in New Delhi, killing at least eight people and injuring around 20. The incident is being investigated as a terror act under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) taking over the probe amid links to a suspected module connected to Jaish‑e‑Mohammed. Authorities also revealed massive arms and explosives caches found in a related operation in Faridabad, suggesting the blast may be the culmination of a coordinated terror network. (PC: NDTV)

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the Delhi blast but warned against branding all Kashmiris as terrorists following the Red Fort car explosion that killed 13 people on November 10. He demanded the harshest punishment for perpetrators while emphasizing "every resident of Jammu and Kashmir is not a terrorist." The blast, triggered by Dr Umar Nabi from Pulwama, exposed a terror network across Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Police recovered 360 kg ammonium nitrate from Faridabad before the explosion, arresting Dr Muzammil Ganaie and seven others. Abdullah criticized past administrative failures, questioning why Dr Arif Nisar Dar, dismissed in 2023 for alleged terror links, wasn't prosecuted properly.

India Today's Special Investigation Team uncovered disturbing details at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, where Delhi blast suicide bomber Dr Umar Mohammad once taught. Students revealed he enforced "Taliban-style" classroom segregation, forcing boys and girls to sit separately during lectures. Dr Umar lived in the university hostel and was described as reserved by staff. His associate Dr Muzammil Saeed Ganai rented two rooms nearby, deceiving landlords to store explosives. Students praised arrested terror suspect Dr Shaheen Saeed as an excellent teacher. Following the Red Fort blast that killed 13, patient numbers at the university hospital dropped sharply. The investigation reveals how the "doctors' terror module" operated within an educational institution, blending academic life with terror activities. (PC: India Today & The Indian Express)

Security forces demolished the Pulwama residence of Dr Umar Nabi on Friday, the man linked to the Delhi blast near Red Fort. The structure in Koil village was razed as part of the ongoing investigation. The car explosion on Monday evening killed at least 10 people and injured several others. Umar was identified as the driver of the explosive-laden Hyundai i20 after DNA samples from the blast site matched his mother's. He worked as an assistant professor at Al Falah University in Faridabad. Delhi Police linked him to Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie and Dr Adeel Rather, arrested last week for allegedly storing over 2,900 kgs of ammonium nitrate, detonators, timers, and assault rifles.

The probe into the Delhi car blast that killed 13 people has found a link to Dubai. Investigators questioned accused doctor Adil Ahmed Rather, who said his brother travelled to Pakistan and then to Dubai two months ago. Officers suspect he arranged funds for the terror plan and had links to Jaish-e-Mohammed. Police also confirmed that Dr Umar Mohammad drove the i20 car that exploded near Red Fort. His DNA matched remains found in the vehicle. Investigators say the group planned blasts at six locations on December 6. A huge explosives recovery in Faridabad likely stopped a bigger attack.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the Delhi terror attack that killed 13 people and called it “an attack that takes so many innocent civilian lives.” He urged investigators to find the culprits but warned against blaming the wider Kashmiri community. “Stop treating all of us as suspects,” he said. Abdullah stressed that “the entire Kashmir community is not radicalised” and asked why Kashmiri Muslims must “prove our patriotism” after every incident. He also questioned failures in past cases, asking, “If you had clear-cut evidence of terror links, why was no prosecution brought about?” (PC: India Today)

Survivors of the Red Fort blast are still in pain and shock three days after the deadly explosion. Ten people were killed and over twenty were injured when a car blew up near the Lal Qila Metro Station. Many victims are being treated at LNJP Hospital for hearing loss, burns and serious injuries. Doctors say loud blasts can cause long-term ear damage. First responders said the scene was horrifying, with bodies and debris everywhere. Locals rushed victims to ambulances. Many rescuers say they cannot sleep after what they saw and are still struggling with the memories. (PC: HT)

The Supreme Court adopted a cautious, probing stance toward petitions challenging Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, signaling tough times ahead for petitioners. Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi emphasized rectification over suspension, questioning whether objections represent genuine disenfranchisement concerns or political interests. Petitioners, including DMK's RS Bharathi and Trinamool's Dola Sen, cited monsoon disruptions, festive periods, and connectivity issues. However, the Court backed Election Commission's mandate and discretion, drawing confidence from Bihar's successful SIR experience where 65 lakh voters were removed yet record 66.9% turnout occurred. The bench stressed enabling easy participation while respecting constitutional authority. (PC: The Indian Express & The Federal)

Thirty-two cars were being prepared for a coordinated six-phase terror attack targeting multiple Delhi locations on December 6 marking Babri Masjid demolition anniversary, sources told NDTV. The Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed plot involved vehicles including a Hyundai i20 that exploded prematurely Monday at Red Fort, killing 13. Investigators discovered a Maruti Brezza at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad, a Ford EcoSport abandoned with an unidentified man sleeping inside, and a Dzire containing assault rifles. Nearly 3,000kg of explosives were stockpiled at Al-Falah Hospital and Anantnag's Government Medical College. Terrorist Umar Mohammed's DNA confirmed his death in the blast. The cell operated using doctors as cover, exposed after CCTV caught poster activities in Nowgam. (PC: Asianet Newsable & India Today)
