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.
