Doctor-turned-terrorist Umar un Nabi recorded a chilling video before the November 10 Red Fort blast explaining his views on suicide bombing. In the unseen footage, he discusses what he calls the "misunderstood" concept, arguing that suicide bombing should be labeled as martyrdom operations in Islam. He acknowledges arguments and contradictions against it, describing martyrdom operations as instances where individuals presume death at specific times and places. Investigators believe the most radicalized member of the Faridabad "white collar" terror module created this video to brainwash others. The explosion killed 13 people when Umar's explosive-laden Hyundai i20 detonated near Red Fort Metro Station, with evidence linking him to the Jaish-e-Mohammed network.

The terror group behind the Delhi suicide car blast had planned to use weaponised drones before the November 10 attack near the Red Fort, investigators said. The NIA found this plan after arresting the second accused, Jasir Bilal Wani, from Srinagar. He worked with suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi and gave technical help to modify drones and make small rockets. The module wanted to send a drone over a crowded place to cause maximum deaths. Sources said Danish had earlier built small weaponised drones. The NIA is checking all links as India continues to strengthen its anti-drone systems. (PC: NDTV)

Police in Gujarat uncovered a massive cybercrime racket where hackers stole footage from 50,000 CCTVs across India, including sensitive maternity hospital videos sold on Telegram for ₹800-2,000. Videos showed pregnant women during medical exams, uploaded to YouTube with Telegram links for longer footage. Eight arrests were made across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Delhi, and Uttarakhand since February. Hackers exploited weak default passwords like "Admin123" using brute force techniques. Charges include privacy violations, obscene material publication, voyeurism, and cyber terrorism. Despite victims' distress, no patients filed complaints due to shame and fear of identity exposure. Experts urge stronger password protocols, cybersecurity training, and manufacturer warnings, highlighting India's widespread surveillance vulnerability. (PC: Mindler)
