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.

Sopore, May 13:Founder and CEO of Career Group, Er Vinay Rai on Wednesday said that discipline, structured mentoring and early career counselling were key to steering Valley youth towards national-level opportunities such as IITs and the NDA. He stressed that students in Jammu and Kashmir possess immense talent but lack proper guidance and exposure. Talking to media persons on the sidelines of a daylong seminar on Gateway to IIT and NDA opportunities organised by Career Defence School in Sopore, Rai said he was impressed by the curiosity and confidence shown by students from the Valley, particularly younger students from classes 6 and 7. Students from different schools across Kashmir participated in interactive sessions on competitive examinations, scholarships, hostel facilities and career planning. The kind of questions children are asking here shows strong curiosity and potential among them. What these students need is proper guidance, discipline and a system that keeps them engaged in positive activities, he said. Rai said Career Defence School focuses not only on preparing students for examinations like JEE, NDA, NEET and RIMC, but also on personality development, communication skills and leadership training. Career Defence School is not only about defence services. Discipline is required in every field whether one becomes a doctor, engineer, journalist or businessman, he said. He further added that engaging children in sports and structured activities can also help counter social problems like drug abuse. He said the institution integrates academics with sports, NCC training and personality grooming to create an environment where students remain motivated by seeing peers progress into officer ranks and national-level careers. Rai also briefed about the scholarship and subsidy schemes available for students, particularly children of central government employees and security personnel. He claimed many families in J&K remain unaware of hostel and education subsidies provided under existing government provisions. Students from economically weaker backgrounds are also being offered scholarships ranging from 50 to 70 percent based on merit and academic performance, he said. Rai said the level of confidence and communication skills he witnessed among Kashmiri students was better than many parts of north India, including Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. He urged parents to focus on supporting children through the learning process rather than putting them under constant pressure over results. MLA Sopore Irshad Rasool Kar was the chief guest at the occasion while Tehsildar Sopore Shiekh Tariq was the guest of honour. In his address, MLA Sopore said such seminars help students understand career opportunities and encourage them to compete at national platforms. Shiekh Tariq stressed the importance of hard work, discipline and moral values in student life.
