Blast overview
Delhi Red Fort blast: Key details
The November 10 blast in a Hyundai i20 near the Delhi Red Fort killed 13 and injured many. Dr Umar Mohammad, also known as Umar Nabi, a doctor from Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, working at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, has been identified as the main conspirator. Investigators have unearthed a "white-coat" terror module allegedly run by highly educated professionals, including doctors from this university.

Raids linked to this module have recovered nearly 3,000kg of explosives. Authorities suspect Dr Umar may have set off the blast early after learning that the operation was compromised. Further investigations indicate a larger conspiracy aimed at several cities, possibly linked to terror outfits. Multiple arrests have been made across India, especially in Jammu and Kashmir, as part of this ongoing investigation into the blast probe.
