Delhi fourth most polluted city in India; all top 10 cities from Haryana, UP: Study
CHANDIGARH: Delhi ranked fourth among the most polluted cities in the country in November, as per a report released by Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). Ghaziabad topped the list, followed by Noida, Bahadurgarh, Delhi, Hapur, Greater Noida, Baghpat, Sonipat, Meerut and Rohtak. Despite a significant reduction in stubble-burning, 20 out of 29 cities in National Capital Region (NCR) recorded higher pollution levels than the previous year. Punjab and Haryana had been blamed in the past for being the primary cause of air pollution in the NCR; the two states have registered an 80 to 90 per cent drop in farm fire cases over the last four years. The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA)s November 2025 Monthly Air Quality Snapshot, draws data from real-time continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations (CAAQMS) PM2.5. The report indicates a substantial deterioration in air quality across the country. Ghaziabad emerged as the most polluted city in the country in November this year with a monthly average PM2.5 concentration of 224 g/m, violating the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) on every day of the month, the report stated. It further said the city experienced 19 Very Poor days, 10 Severe days, and one Poor day. The report further reads, Uttar Pradesh accounted for six of the top ten cities, followed by Haryana with three, along with Delhi. All cities in the top 10 list recorded higher PM2.5 levels than the previous year, except for Delhi. Delhi ranked as the fourth most polluted city, recording a monthly average PM2.5 concentration of 215 g/m in November, about twice its October level of 107 g/m. The city experienced 23 Very Poor days, six Severe days, and one Poor day throughout November, the report stated. Despite widespread pollution, the contribution of stubble burning was an average of 7 per cent in November, down from 20 per cent last year. Peak contributions of stubble burning reached 22 per cent, significantly lower than 38 per cent recorded in the previous year. Except for Bahadurgarh, none of the top ten cities recorded even a single day within the safe daily NAAQS limit. Several other cities, including Charkhi Dadri, Bulandshahr, Jind, Muzaffarnagar, Gurgaon, Khurja, Bhiwani, Karnal, Yamunanagar and Faridabad, also recorded PM2.5 levels above NAAQS every day of the month. Sonipat recorded very poor' air quality with PM 2.5 at 121-250 g/m on 29 of the 30 days, while Bahadurgarh remained the second most polluted with a PM 2.5 average of 215 g/m, it added. While seven cities of Punjab exceeded the standard as Mandi Gobindgarh was the most polluted in Punjab with PM 2.5 at 93 g/m. Despite a significant reduction in stubble-burning influence, 20 out of 29 NCR cities recorded higher pollution levels than the previous year, and many still did not register a single day within NAAQS limits. This clearly indicates that the dominant drivers are year-round sources such as transport, industry, power plants, and other combustion sources. Without sector-specific emission cuts, cities will continue to breach standards, said Manoj Kumar, analyst at CREA. At the state level, Rajasthan had the largest number of polluted cities, with 23 of 34 exceeding the NAAQS in November. Haryana had 22 of 25 such cities, while Uttar Pradesh had 14 of 20 above the standard. Pollution levels were also high across other states, with 9 of 12 cities in Madhya Pradesh, 9 of 14 in Odisha, and 7 of 8 in Punjab recording concentrations above NAAQS.

From a Vision to a Trusted Name - The Inspiring Journey of Property Master and Its Leadership Duo
In 2009, when Faridabads real estate was buzzing with possibilities, homebuyers and investors still longed for guidance they could genuinely trust. It was in this moment of opportunity that two driven entrepreneurs, Paras Rai and Goldi Arora, came together with a shared vision to redefine how people experienced property decisions. They believed the market deserved more clarity, more honesty, and a more professional approach, and they set out to deliver exactly that. From a modest office with big dreams, they built Property Master on the simple but powerful idea that real estate should feel transparent, reassuring, and human. Over the years, this vision has expanded beyond Faridabad to Mohali and Gurugram, helping clients across multiple regions navigate real estate with confidence. From a Vision to a Trusted Name The Inspiring Journey of Property Master and Its Leadership Duo Founders Complementary Strengths What truly fuelled Property Masters rise was the complementary strength that Paras Rai and Goldi Arora brought into their partnership. Goldi, a graduate of MJP Rohilkhand University, stepped into real estate with a natural flair for people, communication, and business development. Over the years, he built an impressive network of satisfied clients and some of the biggest sellers in Greater Faridabad through his honest dealings, strong relationships, and instinctive marketing expertise. As Managing Director, he led from the frontdeveloping new services, strengthening client connections, expanding the companys reach, and nurturing a 50-member marketing team with tireless dedication. Complementing him perfectly was Paras, a Delhi University commerce graduate with a diploma in IT who brought a structured, analytical approach to real estate advisory. Paras quickly earned a name as a transparent, detail-oriented professional whose financial acumen helped investors make informed, profitable decisions. His deep involvement in portfolio management, asset planning, and investor education steadily grew the companys investor base and reinforced Property Masters reputation for credibility. Beyond business, both founders share a strong commitment to social welfare and community upliftment. Together, Goldi and Paras form a formidable leadership duoone driven by people and strategy, the other by finance and precisionshaping Property Master into a brand built on trust, expertise, and purpose. Building Property Master as a Trusted Brand From the early days of shared ambition, Property Master steadily grew into one of the most trusted real estate advisory brands across Faridabad and Mohali, driven not by scale alone but by the ethics, diligence, and transparency that defined its founders. What began as a two-member venture soon evolved into a 100+ strong team, each individual aligned with the companys customer-first philosophy and commitment to doing right by every buyer and investor. Over the years, Property Master expanded its reach, representing more than 150 projects and building strong collaborations with leading developers across the region. Its services grew with the needs of its clients, spanning buying, selling, leasing, registration support, investment consultation, and complete documentation handholding. Through every step, the goal remained simple and unwavering: to make real estate decisions clearer, easier, and more trustworthy for everyone who walked through their doors. Ethos That Builds Property Master At the heart of this growth lies an ethos that has remained unchanged since day oneintegrity above all else. Property Master earned its reputation not through grand promises but through honest conversations, ethical dealings, and the assurance that every recommendation came from a place of responsibility. This sincerity became its strongest differentiator, inspiring long-term relationships with clients who returned again and again, often bringing friends and family through referrals. Each repeat customer became a testament to the trust the brand had built. By upholding professionalism and offering clear, transparent advisory at every step, Property Master set new benchmarks in Faridabad and Mohalis real estate ecosystem, proving that when a business is grounded in values, trust naturally follows. Leadership With Purpose What strengthens Property Masters identity even further is the leadership with purpose. Both Goldi Arora and Paras Rai have always believed that success holds true meaning only when it contributes to the larger good. Goldi has long been involved in social welfare initiatives, dedicating time and resources to uplift weaker sections of society through hands-on community work.

Shops Allegedly Sold Chemicals to Red Fort Blast Accused Sealed in Faridabad
The committee investigated the matter and wrote a letter to MCF Joint Commissioner Jitendra Joshi, requesting sealing, the official said.
here . CCDC field staff collecting samples from a patient Excess dietary salt intake is a major preventable risk factor for hypertension and CVDs. Thus, salt reduction is recommended by most global health organizations and the National NCD Action Plan as a key strategy to reduce CVDs. Reducing the salt intake by 30% by 2025 is among the WHO's nine voluntary global targets. The most recent WHO status report shows that the world is far behind in achieving this target. Prof. (Dr) Dorairaj Prabhakaran, Executive Director, CCDC and senior author of the study, explained the relevance of these findings and population study in the context of national efforts to combat the global burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) reported in India. He said, One of the major concerns in terms of reducing salt intake is whether it would impact iodine consumption, given that there is a mandatory fortification of salt with iodine to prevent hypothyroidism and goitre. However, this study clearly shows that even with reduced sodium intake, iodine intake remains adequate, and the fear that lowering sodium intake will reduce iodine intake is misplaced. It is crucial, as a public health measure, to reduce sodium to reduce the prevalence of hypertension in the population. To give a context, more than 300 million Indians live with hypertension. And one of the most essential lifestyle measures is reducing salt intake. In this regard, the study has provided major insights: reducing salt intake will not adversely affect iodine intake. Speaking about the findings, Professor Sailesh Mohan, Deputy Director & Head-CVD Epidemiology, CCDC, and one of the senior study authors, said , Salt intake is high in India, and its reduction through population-wide efforts is an urgent imperative to control the rising burden of hypertension, which affects a third of Indian adults. This studys findings provide much-needed evidence to indicate that salt reduction to recommended levels is unlikely to impact iodine levels among adults. Study Design and Findings This study aimed to estimate the daily salt and iodine consumption levels of the adult population in India and examine the effect of the WHO-recommended salt intake levels on iodine levels. The study sites were selected to include slum and non-slum urban and rural areas. The urban part of the survey was conducted in Delhi, and the rural part in Faridabad, Haryana. Participant recruitment was done using a stratified random sampling method to recruit individuals from urban, urban slum, and rural areas, from 6 age and sex groups. Iodine in salt, which was collected from 205 households, was estimated by iodometric titration with sodium thiosulfate. All samples were analyzed in triplicate with two levels of controls. The intra- and interassay coefficient of variation were 1.39% and 1.42%, respectively Key Takeaways A cross-sectional study was conducted in Delhi and Haryana, India, among adults aged 20 years, and 24-hour urine samples were collected to assess the salt and iodine levels. Sample - The mean salt intake was 8.07 g/d (95% confidence interval: 7.03, 9.11), median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) was 167.8 g/L (102.63284.5), and the mean urinary iodine excretion (UIE) was 276.1 g/ 24h (254.5297.8). Observation - Analysis to assess iodine intake adequacy by salt intake levels indicated that the median UIC, as well as UIE, were adequate when salt intake was as per the WHO- WHO-recommended level, i.e., 5 g/d. The conclusion was that even at the WHO-recommended salt intake levels, population iodine intake in this study population was adequate, likely indicating that upward titration in iodine concentration in salt may not be required. Conclusion - Thus, current salt reduction recommendations are unlikely to impact iodine supplementation efforts, indicating compatibility between the 2 interventions, which should be continuously monitored through robust surveillance. This study demonstrates that in India, where universal salt iodization is mandatory, a reduction in salt intake to WHOs recommended levels of 5 g/d does not compromise the level of iodine intake among participants as measured by 24-h UIC and UIE in adults. These findings provide strong support for the WHOs recommendations to reduce population salt intake to prevent hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, and also allay concerns regarding the requirement of an upward iodine titration in salt to account for the reduced dietary salt intake. Thus, current salt reduction recommendations are unlikely to impact iodine supplementation efforts, indicating compatibility between the 2 interventions. The study protocol was approved by the Indian Health Ministrys Screening Committee and the ethics committee of the Centre for Chronic Disease Control, New Delhi. It was supported by a funding award made by the Global Alliance for Chronic Disease through the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRC). About CCDC The Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC) is leading efforts to transform public health and empower public health professionals to combat the growing challenge of chronic diseases across India and low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Established in 2000 as a non-profit scientific organization, this Delhi-based organization has been working alongside the Government of India (GoI) to reduce the burden of chronic diseases in India.

BIG update on Delhi blast probe, Rs 18 lakh found in room at Faridabad's Al-FalahUniversity
On November 10, a high-intensity blast ripped through a Hyundai i20 car filled with explosives near the Lal Quila Metro Station, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens of others. Dr. Umar Mohammad, who was behind the wheels of the i20, was affiliated with the Al-Falah University.
SC frees woman jailed for changing six lawyers
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has ordered the release of a woman jailed by a lower court for changing her lawyers six times during an appeal in a cheque bounce case, describing the order as appalling and shocking. The case involves two dishonoured cheques issued by the womans mother, worth Rs 7 lakh and Rs 5.02 lakh respectively. The trial court convicted and sentenced both the mother and daughter. The woman subsequently filed an appeal before the sessions court in Faridabad, which has been pending for eight years, the bench noted. Meanwhile, the sessions court cancelled their bail and ordered their custody. The mother and daughter challenged this decision in the high court and later the Supreme Court. A bench comprising Justices Arvind Kumar and N V Anjaria, in an order dated November 27, noted that the mother had passed away, but the appellate court had not accepted her death certificate. The sessions court directed the concerned Station House Officer to verify the legitimacy of the certificate. The bench observed that if the lawyer was not assisting the court, the proper action would have been to appoint an amicus curiae or allow the accused time to arrange alternate counsel not to jail her. The court ordered the womans release on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh.It is appalling and shocking that the appellate court insisted on the appellants presence on every hearing date, particularly after suspending the sentence already passed, the bench said.
ED finds forged GPAs in Delhi land grabs by Al Falahs Siddiqui under probe
New Delhi: Widening its probe into the alleged financial irregularities at the Al Falah Group and Trust, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has detected that its arrested chairman could have acquired some land parcels in Delhi by forging documents. The Al Falah University based in Haryanas Faridabad district is under the spotlight of investigations into the Get the latest updates in Hyderabad City News , Technology , Entertainment , Sports , Politics and Top Stories on WhatsApp & Telegram by subscribing to our channels.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe has revealed that Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui , chairman and founder of Al Falah University , acquired land in south-east Delhis Madanpur Khadar through forged documents executed in the names of at least five deceased landowners, sources said on Friday. The Haryana-based university has come under the scanner after three doctors working there were found to be part of the white-collar terror module linked to the 10 November Red Fort car blast that killed 13 people. Siddiqui, who was arrested last week on money laundering charges, is presently in ED custody. According to officials, the agency has so far identified several land parcels in Delhi that were acquired by Siddiquis private company, Tarbiya Education Foundation, through forged powers of attorney, some of which were executed decades after the actual landowners had died. During the investigation, we examined all the financial details and found that forged General Power of Attorney (GPA) was used to sell land in the names of dead owners, and it was ultimately acquired by Tarbia Education Foundation of Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, said an agency official. A probe has also revealed that the land in Khasra No. 792, Madanpur Khadar, was acquired through fraud by Tarbia Education Foundation. The deed records a sale of land in Khasra No. 792 (and related land) in favour of Tarbia Education Foundation, for a consideration of Rs 75,00,000. The ED has found that the GPA is false and fabricated. The signatures/thumb impressions of the deceased are forged. The land was transferred on the basis of forged GPA and the ultimate beneficiary is Tarbia Education Foundation, which purchased the land on the basis of forged GPA by sellers, the official said. An examination of documents has revealed that one man, identified as Vinod Kumar, held the power of attorney for at least five landowners who were already dead by the time the power of attorney was registered on 7 January 2004, according to the official. The agency has found that one landowner, Nathu, died on 1 January 1972, followed by Harbans Singh, who died on 27 April 1991; Harkesh, who died on 12 June 1993; Shiv Dayal, who died on 22 January 1998; and Jay Ram, who died on 15 October 1998. Interestingly, the date of GPA registration of all these people in favour of Vinod Kumar is 7 January 2004, and it was later sold to Tarbia on 27 June 2013, the official said. The GPA registration carried the names and signatures or thumb impressions of the deceased landowners. The agency has also found that in several instances the purported signatories had died long before the GPA was executed in January 2004. A GPA said to be signed by a dead person has no legal authority, but despite this, a registered sale deed dated 27 June 2013 was executed, he said. Siddiqui was arrested on 18 November, hours after multiple ED teams conducted searches at 25 locations across Delhi and Faridabad linked to the Al Falah Group in connection with alleged fraudulent claims of accreditation and financial irregularities by the groups flagship institutions. Delhi Police have also registered two FIRs based on a complaint from the UGC. One FIR alleges cheating, while the other invokes charges of forgery. The Association of Indian Universities has revoked Al Falah Universitys membership. Earlier, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) issued a notice asking the private university to explain why the UGC should not be asked to withdraw its recognition. The university had claimed on its website that its Al Falah School of Engineering and Technology and Al Falah School of Education and Training had A grades from the NAAC.

Delhi blast probe finds terror suspect operated multiple Faridabad hideouts near university
FARIDABAD: The Delhi blast investigation has revealed that Dr Muzammil Ganaie, one of the prime suspects arrested in connection with the alleged white-collar terror module linked to the 10 November terrorist incident, had maintained two additional hideouts near Al-Falah University, police sources have said. In addition to renting accommodation in Fatehpur Taga and Dhauj in Faridabad, Muzammil had taken a house on rent from the former sarpanch of Khori Jamalpur village on the pretext of starting a Kashmiri fruit business, as well as a small room built on a farmers land, the sources said. The accommodation, owned by Jumma Khan, comprised three bedrooms, a hall and a kitchen. It was located about 4 kilometres from Al-Falah University, where Muzammil worked and from where he was picked up by the J&K Police. He stayed at this house between April and July on a monthly rent of 8,000, according to the sources. The house was constructed above a plastic raw material factory also owned by Khan. J&K police raid sites linked to banned Jamaat-e-Islami amid crackdown on 'terror support ecosystem' A team from the NIA recently took Muzammil to the village as part of its Delhi blast probe. NIA officers questioned Khan for several hours during their visit. Sources said Jumma, during questioning, told officers that Muzammil had informed him he wanted to start a Kashmiri fruit business and needed space for it. However, after about three months, he vacated the house, claiming it was too hot. Jumma clarified that he had no prior connection with Muzammil and that their first meeting took place at Al-Falah Hospital, where Jummas nephew was undergoing cancer treatment. He had vacated my house after around three months. I never suspected that he was a terrorist, said Khan. The NIA probe also revealed that Muzammil had stored a substantial amount of explosive material for approximately 12 days in a room built on a piece of land belonging to a farmer. He later shifted the explosive material to a room in the house of cleric Ishtiyak in Fatehpur Taga village, sources said.

J&K police raid sites linked to banned Jamaat-e-Islami amid crackdown on 'terror support ecosystem'
Police on Thursday launched coordinated raids and inspections across the Kashmir Valley, targeting locations linked to the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and conducting city-wide checks at madrassas and mosques as part of an ongoing crackdown aimed at dismantling what authorities described as the terror support ecosystem. Officials said searches were carried out in Srinagar, Anantnag, Pulwama, Shopian, Kulgam, Budgam and Kupwara. The raids targeted residential premises and business establishments linked to JeI members and their associates following credible intelligence suggesting anti-national activities. Electronic devices, documents and literature were seized for detailed scrutiny, they said. In Srinagar, police conducted extensive searches at the residences and establishments of Umar Sultan Guru from Chanpora, Mohammad Abdullah Wani from Budgam, currently residing at Mandir Bagh Baghat, Ghulam Mohammad Bhat from Bemina, Mohammad Ramzan Naik alias Faheem from Lal Bazar, Bashir Ahmad Lone from Harwan, and Manzoor Ahmad of Nowgam Chowk. Searches were also conducted at locations associated with JeI-affiliated institutions, including the residences of Mohammad Ramzan Lone of Soura (Ramzana Memorial Educational Institute), Shahid Zahgeer of Buchpora Soura (Ramzana Memorial School), and Peer Giyas Ud Din of Nowgam (Falah Research Ramzan Centre), officials said. Police also raided several institutions linked to JeI ideology, including Jamiat-ul-Banaat at Kashmir University in Lal Bazar, Rahat Manzil (JK Yateem Khana) in Bagh-i-Nand Singh, Chattabal, Chinar Publication Trust in Maisuma and Al-Kousar Book Shop in Maisuma. In Kupwara, searches were conducted at the Jamia Islamia Institute in Waripora, Handwara, based on information indicating suspected unlawful activities. The crackdown intensified following the 10 November blast near Delhis Red Fort metro station, which left 13 people dead. The doctor believed to have been driving the car that exploded was identified as Umar Nabi, a resident of Kashmir. J&K police raid hospitals, prisons, and chemical stores in crackdown on Delhi blast-linked terror networks Two days later, the Union government described the incident as a terrorist incident. Hours before the blast, police had cracked an inter-state and transnational terror module in Faridabad and Uttar Pradeshs Saharanpur. Subsequent investigations, police said, led to the recovery of nearly 3,000 kg of explosives-making material from various locations, including Faridabad. On 12 November, the Jammu and Kashmir Police conducted raids at more than 300 locations linked to persons affiliated with the banned Jamaat-e-Islami after intelligence inputs indicated attempts to revive the proscribed organisation under different names. As investigations continued, the explosives recovered earlier blew up during sampling at the Nowgam police station on the outskirts of Srinagar on 14 November, killing nine people and injuring 32. Against this backdrop, Srinagar Police on Thursday carried out fresh inspections at madrassas and masjids across all zones. A police spokesman said the checks were part of the larger effort to counter radicalisation and strengthen de-radicalisation measures. The inspection is part of an ongoing crackdown against individuals and networks associated with terrorist organisations to dismantle the terror support ecosystem in the region and strengthen de-radicalisation efforts, he said. Search teams, accompanied by executive magistrates and independent witnesses, inspected digital devices, documents and other materials to gather evidence related to terror-linked or radical activities inimical to the security and integrity of the nation. Police said the operations were conducted strictly in accordance with legal procedures ensuring transparency and accountability at every stage. These searches will continue wherever credible inputs indicate the presence of individuals or materials linked to terror or radicalised activities prejudicial to the security of the nation, the spokesman said. Police urged citizens to cooperate with ongoing investigations and report suspicious activity. Two religious preachers, Molvi Irfan from Shopian and Molvi Ishtiaq from Mewat in Haryana, have already been arrested in connection with the terror module case. (Inputs from PTI)

Haryana cracks down against drunk driving with over 63,000 challans this year, Gurgaon tops cases
CHANDIGARH: Haryana has recorded a total of 63,073 challans for drunk driving this year in a major crackdown, with Gurgaon topping the list, followed by Faridabad and Karnal. Haryana has recorded a total of 63,073 challans for drunk-driving this year, with Gurgaon topping the list, followed by Faridabad and Karnal District-wise data from the Haryana Police shows that between January 1 and November 24, Gurgaon recorded the highest number of challans at 24,972, followed by Faridabad (7,402), Karnal (4,851), Panchkula (4,180), and Jind (3,109). Acting on instructions from the Haryana Police headquarters, regular special drives have been conducted across all districts. The purpose of these drives is not only to curb drunken driving but also to strictly monitor lane discipline, noise pollution and misuse of red-blue lights. After reviewing weekly reports, the police headquarters has directed districts to make these campaigns even more effective and result-oriented, a police spokesperson said. He added that the numbers reflect intensified monitoring across high-risk corridors, supported by dedicated night-time patrolling. Special police teams have also been deployed at all toll plazas from 6 p.m. to 10 pm, equipped with alco-sensor and e-challan machines so that drunk drivers can be checked on the spot and action taken without delay. On-the-spot checks allow officers to act immediately against offenders, significantly boosting highway safety and deterring risky late-evening driving behaviour. While enforcement remains strict, police officials emphasise that the campaigns primary goal is to change behaviour, not merely issue challans. The message is clear: drunk driving endangers the driver as well as every other commuter on the road, he said. Haryana Police has appealed to citizens to stay alert and advise family, friends and colleagues not to drive under the influence of alcohol. About 15 days ago, Haryana DGP O P Singh had suggested out-of-the-box ideas to curb drunken driving without humiliating anyone. For example, talk to the restaurant owner. If there are four people in a group, they could serve only three so the fourth wont drink. Or the owner could tell them that if all four have had drinks, take an Uber. The police can even coordinate with restaurants to ensure drunk patrons get home safely instead of being harassed at checkpoints, he had said. He further noted that Gurugram is like Amsterdam, Singapore or Hong Kong, cities known for their energy, youth and single working populations. Many single men and women working here have no family; their friends are their family. When they finish work on Friday, they go out this happens globally. So please, do not harass them when they are returning, he had said. He urged officers to avoid excessive barricading and traffic jams and instead explore smarter solutions such as real-time surveillance, technology integration and partnerships with nightlife establishments. Singh emphasised that while drunken driving is unforgivable, the enforcement approach must remain humane and non-confrontational.
CHANDIGARH: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested Soyab of Dhauj near Al Falah University in Faridabad for allegedly providing shelter and logistic support to Dr Umar-un Nabi, the main accused in the Red Forst blast case. The blast took place on November 10. He is the seventh accused arrested by the apex investigating agency in the case, as a part of a 'white-collar' terror module. Sources claimed that Soyab allegedly gave refuge to Umar shortly before the attack and helped him facilitate his movements. The agency continues to pursue various leads in connection with the suicide bombing, and has been conducting searches across States in coordination with the respective police forces in a bid to identify and track others involved in the gruesome attack, the spokesperson said in a statement. Sources claimed Soyab will be investigated with the earlier detained accused, as investigators will try to sort out the operational structure of the white-collar module that helped the bomber. Efforts to unravel the entire conspiracy behind the terror attack are underway. ED arrests Al Falah University founder Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui in PMLA case amid Red Fort blast probe Till now, the NIA has arrested six other alleged accused who were accomplices of Umar. They are Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganai of Pulwama, Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather of Anantnag, Dr Shaheen Saeed of Lucknow and Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay of Shopian, Amir Rashid Ali, in whose name the car was registered, and Jasir Bilal Wani alias Danish, who provided technical support to Umar. All accused are in NIA custody at present. Umar was driving a Hyundai i20 car in which the blast took place near a traffic crossing near the Red Fort, it is suspected to be an explosives-laden vehicle. Recently, NIA took the alleged accused Dr Muzzamil Shakeel Ganaie to Al Falah University for a detailed location-identification exercise as part of its ongoing terror probe. Haryana Police fast-tracks Anti-Terror Squad plan after Red Fort blast He was taken through several points inside the university, including his medical cabin and commonly visited areas, to reconstruct his movements and verify all spaces he had accessed before his arrest. After the university inspection, the NIA team took him to Sohna, where he identified two shops from where he had allegedly purchased 1,600 kg of ammonium nitrate between December 2022 and February 2023. The shopkeepers also confirmed they had already handed over documents to the police and were cooperating with the investigation. He frequently travelled across NCR in a Swift car registered in the name of Shaheen Shahid. The car is suspected to have been used to transport explosive materials. On the other hand, Faridabad Police has seized fertiliser sales records for the past three years from seven shops across Sohna, Nuh, Palwal and Faridabad to track bulk purchases.

Delhi blast: White-collar terror module stockpiled explosives for two years, NIA probe reveals
CHANDIGARH: The investigations into the Faridabad white collar terror module linked to the Delhi blast case have reportedly revealed that the network spent nearly two years procuring explosives and remote-triggering devices. Sources claimed that one of the accused, Dr Muzammil Ganaie, during questioning by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), has reportedly admitted that 26 quintals of NPK fertilizer was procured from Gurugram and Nuh in Haryana. It was allegedly converted into explosive material under the supervision of Umar un-Nabi, who also arranged remote detonators and circuitry for the devices, as he handled the technical part of the operation. The explosives were prepared meticulously over a long period, as they were not built overnight. An official, on condition of anonymity, said, Ganaie was sourcing fertilizer and other precursor chemicals, and this material was bought for approximately Rs 3 lakh. Ammonium nitrate and urea were also stockpiled. It is learnt that Muzammil left a grinding machine and another machine used to melt metal at a taxi drivers house in Dhauj village. The driver was later detained by the NIA along with the machines. Questioning has revealed that the network spent nearly two years procuring explosives and remote-triggering devices. Sources claimed that the worrying factor is that the terrorists seem to have figured out a mix of incendiary chemicals and ammonium nitrate that lowers the kindling temperature of the improvised explosive device fabricated by this terror module. A day before the blast, a joint team of J&K and Faridabad police had seized 360 kg ammonium nitrate and other explosive material from a rented room of Dr Muzammil at Dhauj village. Additionally, 2,900 kg ammonium nitrate was recovered, clearly indicating the modules plan to carry out a major operation. So far, three doctors, Ganaie, Shahid and Adeel Rather, have been arrested. Muzaffar Rather, suspected to be part of the same network, is believed to be in Afghanistan, complicating efforts to bring him into custody. Meanwhile, authorities are also searching for Nissar ul-Hassan, a colleague of the accused at Al-Falah Medical College, where several of the suspects worked together. Sources claimed that Rs 26 lakh was allegedly raised among five doctors to finance the conspiracy. While Ganaie reportedly contributed Rs 5 lakh, Adeel Ahmad Rather Rs 8 lakh and Muzaffar Ahmad Rather Rs 6 lakh, Shaheen Shahid Rs 5 lakh and Dr Umar Un-Nabi Mohammad Rs 2 lakh. The entire amount was handed over to Umar. It is further alleged that Muzammil and Umar were involved in a fight at the university over the funds, witnessed by several students.
