Investigators found that Dr Umar Mohammed, the main suspect in the Red Fort car blast, waited in a parking lot for over three hours before the explosion. CCTV footage shows he never left the vehicle. Sources say Umar planned to detonate the bomb near the Red Fort parking area but made a critical mistake — the monument was closed on Monday. Frustrated, he drove out, and the car exploded near the Red Fort Metro Station, killing nine and injuring over 20. Investigators are probing why he waited so long and if he was expecting orders or having doubts. (PC: NDTV)

Investigators have found that the Delhi blast suspects planned a 26/11-style terror attack targeting major landmarks like Red Fort, India Gate, and Gauri Shankar Temple. The module, linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, had prepared over 200 IEDs to strike Delhi, Gurugram, and Faridabad. Sources said the group aimed to create communal tension by attacking religious sites.

Authorities are examining her role within a terror module linked to Jaish‑e‑Mohammed and the handling of explosives discovered in Faridabad.

Investigations continue across multiple states.

Investigators have linked the Delhi Red Fort car blast to two Telegram groups tied to radicalisation and a Jaish-e-Mohammad handler. The network, led by doctors, planned logistics and explosives for the attack. Sources say Dr Umar Nabi and Imam Irfan Ahmad Wagah met through these groups, which promoted extremist ideas. A Turkey trip became a turning point when the module took shape. After returning, members spread across India for recruitment and coordination. Agencies say five to six doctors used their access to arrange materials for the blast that killed ten people and injured over twenty others in Delhi. (PC: India Today)
