The investigation into the Delhi car bomb blast that killed 13 people has found a link with suspects living in Dubai, sources have said. This comes after allegations surfaced that some of the suspects lived in Turkey and Pakistan.

The latest trail emerged after investigators questioned one of the accused, Dr Adil Ahmed Rather, after they arrested him for putting up posters supporting the terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Srinagar.

The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) on Thursday suspended the membership of Al Falah University, which is under the scanner in connection with the Red Fort blast case, officials said.

"It is intimated that, as per the bye-laws of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), all universities shall be treated as members as long as they remain in good standing," said AIU Secretary General Pankaj Mittal.

"However, it has come to notice that Al Falah University, Faridabad, Haryana, does not appear to be in good standing. Accordingly, the membership of AIU that was accorded to Al Falah University, Faridabad, Haryana, stands suspended with immediate effect," she added.

The ongoing probe into the November 10 Delhi blast-Faridabad terror module has now taken a dramatic turn, reaching Mhow town in Madhya Pradesh's Indore district.

Investigators from Delhi Police's special cell, probing the use of ammonium nitrate in the blast near Delhi's Red Fort, are in constant coordination with Madhya Pradesh Police to trace the past and network of Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, founder-chairman of Al-Falah University in Faridabad.

A senior Madhya Pradesh police officer confirmed to NDTV that Delhi investigators have sought local intelligence inputs on Siddiqui, who originally hails from Kayastha Mohalla in Mhow town. 

Sources told NDTV that a Delhi Police team is expected to reach Mhow to conduct searches at Siddiqui's ancestral multi-storeyed house in Kayastha Mohalla once home to Shahar Qazi Mohammad Hamid Siddiqui, Jawad's father.

A flight ticket showing that Dr Adil Ahmad, a Jammu and Kashmir native arrested from Saharanpur last week, had travelled from Srinagar to Delhi on October 31, just days before the November 10 car explosion near Red Fort that killed 13 people and injured over 20.

According to officials, the air ticket bearing Adil's name and travel date was recovered from a garbage pile outside his rented house in Saharanpur.

The house, now sealed and under police guard, was searched after multiple intelligence and anti-terror teams reached the city earlier this week, they said.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the punishment for those behind the blast in Delhi will send a message to the world that no one should ever dare to even think of such an attack again.

"All those who committed this cowardly act and those behind it will be brought before the law and given the strictest possible punishment. The Government of India and Ministry of Home Affairs are fully committed to ensuring this," Shah was quoted as saying in an official release.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram's comment about "home-grown terrorists" has unleashed a full-scale political war between the Congress and the BJP in the aftermath of the terror attack near Delhi's iconic Red Fort.

LNJP Hospital's emergency ward currently has 12 patients - six in the isolation ward, four in the ICU, four in the neurosurgery unit, and one in the trauma centre, PTI reported.

Mohammed Safwan, 28, from Chennai is suffering from pain in both ears, along with abrasions, swelling on his leg, and bruises.

Shiva Jaiswal, 28, from Uttar Pradesh has hearing issues in both ears, burns on his arm, forearm, and face, and multiple abrasions.

A fourth car believed to be linked to the Delhi blast case was found parked in Faridabad's Al Falah University. "A suspicious (Maruti) Brezza car at Al Falah University in Dhauj is being inspected by Jammu and Kashmir Police," Faridabad police said.

The Haryana-registered vehicle was found in the university parking lot, sources told PTI. Several other vehicles within the university complex were being inspected and details about their ownerships were being verified, they added.

After a white Hyundai i20 exploded near Delhi's Red Fort on Monday evening, killing 13 people and injuring several others, investigators traced a second vehicle -- a red Ford EcoSport -- linked to the terror module, in Faridabad's Khandawali village on Wednesday.

The four cars investigators have identified as part of the plan include a Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire that belonged to Dr Shaheen Saeed, who was arrested after assault rifles and ammunition were recovered from her car.

The Delhi Police and central investigating agencies have pieced together the final 48 hours of Dr Umar Nabi's movements before the deadly explosion outside Delhi's Red Fort on Monday evening.

In a big revelation, investigators probing the Jaish-e-Mohammed link in the Delhi blast and Faridabad explosives haul have found that Dr Shaheen Saeed was in touch with Afirah Bibi, the wife of Jaish commander and Pulwama mastermind Umar Farooq

Not every person in Jammu and Kashmir is a terrorist, said Chief Minister Omar Abdullah as investigation into the Delhi blast deepens. "Not everyone is with the terrorists.. There are some people who disturb the peace.. But don't look at every Kashmiri Muslim as they are terrorists .. Not every Kashmiri Muslim is a terrorist.. It is difficult to bring people on the right path if we consider everyone a terrorist.. Innocent people should not be punished..," he added.

Javed Ahmed Siddiqui, Managing Trustee and Founder of the Al-Falah University is under the scanner for his vast corporate network and an old criminal case. Siddiqui is linked to nine registered companies, all connected through the Al-Falah Charitable Trust, the same body that runs the university.

Most of these companies share the same registered address in Okhla, New Delhi.

The nine companies are:

Probe agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) has been ordered to investigate funding of the Al-Falah university, the top government sources told NDTV. The government has asked for a forensic audit of the accounts of the Al-Falah university.

Economic Offences Wing has also been asked to look into functioning of the Al-Falah university.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had already taken over the investigation into the Delhi blast.

Delhi Police has detained Dr Farooq, an assistant professor at GS Medical College in Hapur. He is posted in the Obstetrics Department of the GS Medical College.

Dr Farooq, a resident of Jammu, completed his MBBS and MD from the Al-Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana. He has been detained under suspicion of association with a terrorist organisation.

Dr Shaheena Saeed - a key suspect in the Delhi Red Fort blast case - would speak darkly of her 'work' starting only after 4 pm every day, after she clocked out of her 'day job' at the Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research Centre in Faridabad, sources told NDTV Thursday.

Saeed also carried a rosary (known in Islam as misbaha or tasbih) and a hadith book (a collection of Prophet Muhammad's teachings), officials familiar with the investigation said.

A colleague of hers told NDTV of her 'strange behaviour'; she did not adhere to the institution's rules and would often leave without informing anyone, he said, asking not to be named.

The three doctors from the Al-Falah university - Dr Umar Mohammad, alias Dr Umar un Nabi, Dr Muzammil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed - created their own private Threema server to communicate securely, sources said.

This server was allegedly used to share sensitive documents, maps and layouts related to the Delhi blast conspiracy. It is suspected that detailed planning of location sharing and task allocation was done through this server.

Dr Umar Mohammad, alias Dr Umar un Nabi, bomber in the Delhi blast case and the two other accused - Dr Muzammil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed - were in constant contact through an encrypted messaging app "Threema", sources said.

The mobile application works through unique user IDs not linked to mobile numbers or email ID, making it difficult to trace users. It offers end-to-end encrypted text, voice, and video calls, file sharing, and group chats, without requiring a phone number or email for registration.

Dr Mohammad Arif Mir was detained by the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) from Kanpur on Thursday morning and is being questioned about Dr Umar Mohammad, bomber in Delhi blast case and Dr Shaheen Saeed, one of the accused. 

Dr Arif was the topper. His ranking of 1,008 secured him a place in Cardiology.

Umar is seen paying the toll by cash. It indicates that he was not using any digital device.

 A black bag can also be seen at the rear seat. It is suspected to have explosives.

The Al-Falah University in Haryana's Faridabad has received a show cause notice from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) following expiry of accreditation.

According to the notice, Al-Falah School of Engineering and Technology was cycle-1 accredited by NAAC from March 23, 2013 to March 22, 2018.

Department of Teacher Education, Al-Falah School of Education and Training was also Cycle-1 accredited by NAAC from March 27, 2011 to March 26, 2016.

Both the colleges have not yet volunteered for the Cycle-2 assessment and accreditation process of NAAC but the Al-Falah University on its website claims that all its colleges are NAAC accredited.

This, according to NAAC, is "absolutely wrong and misleading" for the public, especially parents, students and stakeholders. 

The four cars that have been identified so far were chosen because they are old and have been re-sold multiple times, making it difficult for the cops to trace them. However, all four have now been found. The four cars are:

Thirty-two cars - including a Maruti Suzuka Brezza, Maruti Swift Dzire, and a Ford EcoSport - were being prepped to carry explosive material, sources close to the Delh Red Fort blast investigation told NDTV Thursday. The cars - including the Hyundai i20 that exploded Monday evening - were supposed to be part of a coordinated serial attack targeting multiple locations in Delhi on December 6 - the day the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya was torn down by a mob. Sources said the blasts were meant to be 'revenge'.

The children of Mohsin, a resident of Meerut in Uttar Pradesh who was killed in the November 11 car bomb blast near Delhi's Red Fort, have urged the authorities to punish those responsible for the tragedy on Thursday.

The news agency IANS spoke to Mohsin's family, who recounted the heartbreaking incident and demanded strict action against the culprits.

Speaking to IANS, Mohsin's son said, "Punish those who are responsible."

His daughter echoed the sentiment, saying, "I just want to say that whoever is responsible should be punished."

In a narrow lane of Lucknow's densely populated Daliganj area, the home of Syed Ahmad Ansari is getting unusual attention since news emerged that his daughter, Dr Shaheen Saeed, had been arrested over a powerful blast around 550 km away in New Delhi and for alleged links with a Jaish-e-Mohammed-linked terror module. 

A search of Dr Saeed's Maruti Suzuki Swift, registered in Faridabad, allegedly yielded an assault rifle, a pistol, and ammunition. According to sources, she was in close contact with Dr Muzammil Shakeel, another suspect, and had been given charge of the India branch of Jamaat-ul-Mominaat -- the women's wing of JeM -- which is headed in Pakistan by Sadia Azhar, sister of JeM chief Masood Azhar.

Two diaries filled with code words and encrypted messages have been found at the Al-Falah university in Faridabad where the suspects worked, said sources, in connection with the Delhi blast that killed at least 13 people and injured 20 others.

The diaries that could solve the blast conspiracy belonged to bomber Dr Umar Mohammad and suspect Dr Muzammil Shakeel. Those were found in room number 13 of Building 17 of the Al-Falah university in Haryana's Faridabad. Dr Muzammil lived in that room.

Amid investigations into the Delhi blast, the poster put up in Srinagar that led to the uncovering of a network of doctors linked to the terror outfit Jaish e Mohammed has surfaced. In October, one of the arrested doctors, Adeel Ahmad Rather, was seen putting up the poster that warned of big attacks on security forces and "outsiders" in Kashmir.

"I hope you all are well and will act on what we have conveyed to you. We have been watching for some time but you are involved in the same sins. Therefore, we want to say that you should stop doing what you are doing against the Shariah, otherwise our action will be severe," the poster, originally in Urdu, reads.

The poster is an open call to people to 'come back to the fold' or face strict action.

The number of deaths in blast near Delhi’s Red Fort has increased to 13, says police.

Monday evening's explosion near the Red Fort, Delhi, killed nine people and injured 20 others. The explosion, which happened at 6.52 pm, was so intense that the severed arm of a person was found nearly 300 metres from the blast site.

A 12-second-long video shows the severed arm on the top of a shop at the Lajpat Rai Market, which is located at quite a distance from the blast spot. The arm, which was up to the forearm level, was seen lying on the shop's roof.

The Al Falah University in Faridabad, about 45 km from Delhi, has emerged as the epicentre of the planning for the blast that ripped through the heart of the national capital on November 10. The investigation into the terror incident is focused on four doctors working at the university who are being linked to the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad. The university has claimed it had "no connection" with them.
A room in the Al Falah premises has emerged as a meeting hub for the doctors involved in the blast conspiracy. Dr Umar and his associates secretly met at building number 17 of the university. Room number 13 in the building belonged to Dr Muzammil, where the terrorists frequently met. It is in this room that the police suspect they had planned to carry out blasts in Delhi and several parts of Uttar Pradesh.

The United States has said that the car blast near the Red Fort in Delhi -- which claimed the lives of at least nine people -- was "clearly" a "terrorist attack". US Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised New Delhi's professionalism in handling the probe into the blast and said the country's actions have been measured and cautious.

"The Indians need to be commended. They've been very measured, cautious and very professional in how they're carrying out this investigation. That investigation continues. It clearly was a terrorist attack. It was a car loaded with highly explosive materials that detonated and killed a lot of people," Rubio said while addressing the media, responding to a query on India declaring the Delhi blast a "terror incident".

Dr Umar Mohammad, who was behind the wheels of the white Hyundai i20 car that exploded near the Red Fort in Delhi on Monday evening, visited a mosque before carrying out the explosion.

CCTV footage dated 10 November, the day of Delhi blast, shows Umar walking near Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque in Turkman Gate area of Old Delhi. He walks straight, turns his head to the right - that is when the CCTV captures his face - and then walks ahead.

The police have mapped the route of the bomber behind the 10/11 Red Fort blast. Dr Umar Mohammad, alias Dr Umar un-Nabi, had travelled across Delhi before the blast on Monday evening, suggest sources, with CCTV cameras spotting him in dozens of places. The police have now stitched the visuals to map the route he had taken after fleeing Faridabad.

Fleeing Faridabad, he first reached Firozpur Jhirka via Mewat in Haryana. He then took the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. He spent the night at a dhaba and slept in the car. The next morning, he returned to Delhi. CCTV cameras spotted him crossing the Badarpur toll at 8:13 am on Monday.

Dr Umar has been caught on CCTV at around 50 locations in Delhi, suggesting he had travelled around the city from morning till 3 pm.

In Delhi, he was first spotted in the East district. He then travelled to the Ring Road in the Central district and then to the North district. He stopped in Ashok Vihar in North West district, supposedly for a meal. Sources suggest he then visited a mosque in the Central district. Dr Umar reached the Red Fort parking in the North District at 3:19 pm.

While he was roaming in Delhi, the vehicle was also spotted in Connaught Place and Mayur Vihar before he parked it in the Sunehri Masjid parking lot in Chandni Chowk. It remained parked till 6:30 am, with reports suggesting that Umar did not leave the car for even a second.

The blast ripped through slow-moving traffic around 6:52 pm near the Red Fort Metro Station.

Investigators probing the blast near Delhi's iconic Red Fort have unearthed a chilling plan: the suspected terror module involving doctors allegedly linked to Jaish-e-Mohammad had planned blasts at six locations in the National Capital Region on December 6.

The date is significant: this was the day when the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya was demolished in 1992. The suspected terrorists arrested in connection with the blast have said the date was chosen because they wanted to "avenge the Babri Masjid demolition".

According to top intelligence sources, the members of the suspected terror module have said during interrogation that they had prepared a phase-wise plan to carry out serial blasts in the National Capital Region.

i20 car that exploded near Red Fort in Delhi on Monday evening exchanged several hands. It was sold five times in 11 years, the latest investigation reveals.

The car was first purchased by one Nadeem from Gurugram-based showroom on March 18, 2014.

Three years later, in 2017, Nadeem sold the car to one Salman, a resident of Shanti Nagar in Gurugram. Salman got the car registered in his name.

In March 2024, Salman sold the car to Devendra, a resident of Okhla, Delhi, through a used car trading agency, under an exchange offer, but it failed to be registered in his name.

Devendra sold the car to Amit Patel, owner of Royal Car Zone in Sector 37, Faridabad, under an exchange offer.

Amit Patel said that after seeing the car's advertisement on OLX, Aamir Rashid and another person visited his officer on October 29 and decided to buy the car. The deal was handled by Sonu, staff of Royal Car Zone, and he got a commission of Rs 10,000.

The Aadhaar card and PAN card provided by Aamir at the time of the purchase had the address as Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir. The car was handed over at 4:15 pm after receiving Rs 1.70 lakh.

Dr Umar Mohammad, alias Umar Un Nabi, reportedly paid for the car.

The car is still registered in Salman's name.

The Counter-Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) unit of the Jammu and Kashmir Police is conducting raids at 13 locations across valley. These raids are reportedly connected with the ongoing investigation of the Srinagar-Delhi blast case with CID.

Singapore condemned the Delhi blast and extended condolences to the families of victims.

"Heartfelt condolences to the families of victims. May those injured recover soon," Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Singapore, wrote on X. "Singapore stands in solidarity with India in this difficult time," he added, tagging Minister S Jaishankar.

Security agencies have recovered diaries belonging to Dr Umar Mohammad and Dr Muzammil Shakeel from Al-Falah University campus. Investigators repeated mentions of the word "operation" in diaries.

Another diary was recovered from Dr Muzammil's Dhauj room, where 360 kg of explosives were earlier seized.

Investigators believe the entries could unlock key details of the Delhi blast conspiracy.

Investigators suspecting Dr Umar Mohammad, bomber in Delhi blast case, and his team reportedly used the red EcoSport car to transport and stockpile ammonium nitrate over time.

Ammonium nitrate – formula NH4NO3 – is an odourless, white crystalline chemical widely used as a fertiliser but is also a powerful oxidiser that, under the right conditions, can cause a powerful explosion resulting in fires that burn at high temperatures for sustained periods.

Ammonium nitrate by itself is not considered an explosive.

It needs to be mixed with an secondary substance - in this case, fuel oil, which is a petroleum-based product - and triggered by an external detonation that gives off immense heat to explode.

In fact, it can be mixed with almost any kind of volatile substance. But the quality is important; pure NH4NO3 is chemically and thermally stable, meaning it requires that external detonation.

And a stronger initial blast is more likely to result in a larger and more stable explosion.

When combined with fuel oil, it becomes ammonium nitrate fuel, or ANFO, which is a commonly used bulk explosive in the construction and mining industries. It is popular because it is an inexpensive and simple explosive to manufacture and, if handled correctly, safe to store.

Its explosive power is another reason it is popular.

The Delhi Police Special Cell conducted a raid in Haryana's Mewat on Tuesday. Investigators are looking to identify shopkeepers from whom Dr Muzammil Shakeel and his associates purchased fertilisers to produce large quantities of ammonium nitrate.

Video of a crowded market in Mewat, where most fertiliser shops are located, has been sent to the Jammu and Kashmir Police. The cops will show it to Dr Muzammil for him to identify the shop.

Members of the Jaish Doctor Module have revealed a structured, phase-wise plan to target six to seven location in Delhi on December 6, top intelligence sources told NDTV.

The plan to carry out serial blasts in the national capital Delhi was divided in five phases:

Phase 1: Formation of the Jaish-Ansar terror module.

Phase 2: Procurement of raw material for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and ammunition, sourced from Nuh and Gurugram in Haryana.

Phase 3: Manufacture of lethal chemical IEDs and reconnaissance of potential target locations.

Phase 4: Distribution of assembled bombs among module members following reconnaissance.

Phase 5: Execution of coordinated bombings across six to seven locations in Delhi, planned for December.

Investigators say the original plan was to carry out the attacks in August 2025, but operational delays pushed the conspiracy to a new target date, December 6, chosen to coincide with the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition.

Dr Umar Mohammad, who was behind the wheels of the white Hyundai i20 car that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday evening, visited a mosque in Old Delhi before carrying out the explosion.

CCTV footage show Umar visiting Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque near Turkman Gate in Delhi.

Red Fort metro station will remain closed till further notice due to security reasons.All other stations are functional as normal, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said.

Mohammad Arif, a medical student has been detained in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, over links to Delhi blast suspect Dr Shaheen Saeed.

Arif, a student of cardiology, was detained by Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) from his rented room in Ashok Nagar area.

Investigative agencies have sought all documents related to Dr Umar Mohammad, suspected suicide bomber in Delhi blast case and his close aides - Dr Muzammil Shakeel, and Dr Shaheen Saeed - from the Al Falah University.

Additionally, the investigating agencies have sought land documents of the university, documents related to the Al Falah Trust, no objection certificates (NOCs) received by the university from government departments, the university campus building plan, all documents related to the National Medical Commissioner, papers received from the University Grants Commission (UGC), and those related to the University Act.

Dr Umar Mohammad, the man driving the i20 car that exploded near Red Fort in Delhi on Mondat evening, was in contact with Turkiye-based handler 'Ukasa', according to the sources. He was in constant touch the Session app, sources said.

In March 2022, some people travelled from India to Ankara in Turkey. It is suspected that Umar, along with other accused arrested in the Faridabad terror module, also accompanied him. There, they met with a Jaish-e-Mohammed handler and were subsequently brainwashed, sources said.

Investigators on Tuesday revealed that apart from the i20, the suspects in Delhi blast also had red Ford EcoSport car. Cops issued alert that if a car with the number DL10CK0458 is found, it has to be intercepted.

Later in the day, the National Investigation Agency once again arrived at Al-Falah Medical College in Haryana's Faridabad. There they questioned the close associated of Delhi blast suspect Dr Umar Mohammad and other university staff.

During the interrogation, investigators found Dr Umar's driver and assistant suspicious. The driver revealed that the red EcoSport car was parked at his sister's houses in Khandwali, Faridabad.

Two days after a powerful explosion near Delhi's Red Fort killed at least nine people and injured nearly two dozen others, newly surfaced CCTV footage has captured the exact moment a white Hyundai i20 car detonated in the middle of rush-hour traffic.

Dr Umar Mohammad was driving the i20 car that exploded near Red Fort on Monday evening, sources told NDTV, citing the DNA test results. 

Sources said that his DNA sample matched 100 per cent with the DNA of his mother and brother. Umar's DNA was matched with his bones, teeth, and pieces of clothing that were found in the i20 following the blast.
