NIA files 7,500-page chargesheet in Red Fort car bomb blast case
Srinagar, May 14: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday filed a 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 accused in connection with the November 2025 car bomb explosion near the Red Fort area that killed 11 people and injured several others. According to the NIA, the high-intensity Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) blast on November 10, 2025, had also caused extensive damage to surrounding property in the national capital. The chargesheet was filed before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House Courts in New Delhi under various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act and Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. The agency said all 10 accused, including the alleged main conspirator Dr. Umer Un Nabi, who is deceased, were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), described as an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). AQIS was declared a terrorist organisation by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2018. The accused named in the chargesheet include Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather, Dr. Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Soyab, Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla and Yasir Ahmad Dar. Charges against Pulwama resident Dr. Umer Un Nabi, a former assistant professor at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, have been proposed to be abated due to his death. The NIA said the chargesheet is based on an extensive investigation carried out across Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and the Delhi-NCR region. Investigators examined 588 oral testimonies, over 395 documents and more than 200 seized material exhibits. According to the probe agency, some of the accused were radicalised medical professionals allegedly inspired by AQIS and AGuH ideology to execute the attack. The investigation revealed that the accused had reconstituted the AGuH outfit as AGuH Interim during a clandestine meeting in Srinagar in 2022 after an unsuccessful attempt to travel to Afghanistan through Turkey. The agency alleged that the group launched Operation Heavenly Hind with the objective of overthrowing the democratically elected Indian government and imposing Sharia rule. Investigators said the accused recruited new members, propagated extremist ideology, stockpiled arms and ammunition and manufactured explosives using commercially available chemicals. The NIA said the explosive used in the blast was Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), which was allegedly prepared after repeated experiments conducted by the accused. The NIA further stated that forensic analysis, voice examination and DNA fingerprinting helped establish the identity of Dr. Umer Un Nabi. Evidence was collected from the blast site as well as locations in and around Al-Falah University in Faridabad and parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The probe also found that the accused had allegedly procured prohibited weapons, including an AK-47 rifle, a Krinkov rifle and country-made pistols with live ammunition. The agency claimed the group had experimented with rocket and drone-mounted IEDs aimed at targeting security establishments in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of the country. The NIA said the accused had procured specialised laboratory equipment, electric circuits and switches through offline and online sources to further their activities. The agency added that plans to expand operations to other parts of India were thwarted after the terror module was busted. So far, 11 persons have been arrested in the case, while efforts are continuing to trace absconders whose involvement surfaced during the investigation, the NIA said.
