Putin's Visit to Delhi: Security Enhanced

Delhi Police have enforced a multi-layered security grid for Russian President Vladimir Putin&rsquo;s two-day visit, deploying over 5,000 personnel, anti-drone systems, snipers, and SWAT teams.

The national capital is on high alert on Thursday, as a multi-layered security grid has been enforced for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is landing in Delhi in the evening for his two-day visit to India.&nbsp;
The exact location of his stay remains undisclosed due to strict security norms, police said. Senior police officers said that from Putin's arrival to his departure, every movement will be tracked by multiple security units operating jointly.&nbsp;
"Minute-to-minute coordination is underway, and all concerned agencies have been instructed to maintain maximum vigilance throughout. Over 5,000 police personnel will be deployed to maintain strict vigil," the officer said.&nbsp;
Top-ranking Delhi Police officers are supervising route security, traffic arrangements and area sanitisation around locations likely to feature in the Russian president's schedule.&nbsp;
"All routes mapped for VVIP movement have been secured in advance. Traffic advisories will be issued from time to time to minimise inconvenience to commuters. Anti-drone systems will be in place," another official said.&nbsp;
Delhi Police, central agencies and Putin's personal security detail have formed a multi-layered security grid with SWAT teams, anti-terror units, snipers and quick-reaction teams stationed at sensitive points.&nbsp;
Additionally, high-definition CCTV networks and technical monitoring systems have been activated across zones associated with the visit.&nbsp;
Traffic restrictions and controlled pedestrian movement are expected around key areas, though officials said alerts will be issued in advance to avoid major disruptions.

Delhi MCD bypolls: BJP wins 7 wards, AAP 3, Congress opens account

In Delhi MCD bypolls for 12 wards, BJP won seven seats, AAP three, while Congress and All India Forward Bloc secured one each. Key contests saw close margins in Ashok Vihar and Naraina.

The BJP won seven wards and AAP three, while the Congress and the All India Forward Bloc emerged victorious in one ward each in the MCD bypolls for 12 wards.
These civic body bypolls were a litmus test for the BJP, as they were its first big electoral battle after coming to power in Delhi in February this year.
BJP's Suman Kumar Gupta defeated Aam Aadmi Party candidate Harsh Sharma by a margin of 1,182 votes. The saffron party also comfortably won the Shalimar Bagh B ward, with Anita Jain defeating AAP's Babita Rana by a margin of over 10,000 votes. The Shalimar Bagh B ward was vacated after sitting BJP councillor Rekha Gupta won the assembly polls in February and became Delhi's chief minister.
AAP won the Mundka and Dakshinpuri wards, while Congress's Suresh Choudhary won the Sangam Vihar A ward by defeating BJP's Subhajeet Gautam. Choudhary polled 12,766 votes while his opponent managed to get 9,138 votes.
BJP's Veena Asija was locked in a close fight with AAP's Seema Goyal but surged ahead to win the Ashok Vihar ward by a margin of 405 votes.

The BJP also won the Dichaon Kalan and Greater Kailash wards and the Dwarka-B ward, which was earlier held by its Kamaljeet Sehrawat. Sehrawat is now a BJP MP. The saffron party's Manisha Rani won the Dwarka-B ward by a comfortable margin of 9,100 votes against AAP's Raj Bala.
AAP's Rajan Arora won the Naraina seat by just 148 votes against the BJP's Chandrakanta Shivani.
The counting of votes for the MCD bypolls to 12 wards began at 8 am amid tight security. Of the 12 wards where voting was held on November 30, nine were earlier held by the BJP and the remaining by AAP.
The State Election Commission, Delhi, had set up 10 counting centres, one each at Kanjhawala, Pitampura, Bharat Nagar, Civil Lines, Rouse Avenue, Dwarka, Najafgarh, Gole Market, Pushp Vihar and Mandawali.
The strong rooms where the EVMs are stored after polling were secured with adequate security measures, including round-the-clock CCTV surveillance and the deployment of paramilitary and Delhi Police personnel.
The vote percentage in the bypolls was 38.51 per cent as compared to 50.47 per cent in the MCD elections held for 250 wards in 2022.

The air quality in Delhi stayed in the “very poor” category on Wednesday with an AQI of 335, marking the second consecutive day of hazardous conditions, while temperatures remained below seasonal averages and shallow fog was forecasted.

Delhi's Air Quality Deteriorates to 'Very Poor' Category: CPCB

Delhi's Air Quality at 'Very Poor' Level

The air quality in Delhi stayed in the &ldquo;very poor&rdquo; category on Wednesday with an AQI of 335, marking the second consecutive day of hazardous conditions, while temperatures remained below seasonal averages and shallow fog was forecasted.

The air quality in the national capital remained in the 'very poor' category on Wednesday morning, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).&nbsp;
With an AQI reading of 335, this is the second consecutive day of 'very poor' AQI.
There was a brief respite from the toxic air on Sunday (November 30) and Monday (December 1); however, the air quality slipped back to 'very poor' on Tuesday.
As per the CPCB, an AQI between zero and 50 is considered 'good', 51 to 100 'satisfactory', 101 to 200 'moderate', 201 to 300 'poor', 301 to 400 'very poor' and 401 to 500 'severe'.
The IMD forecasted shallow fog. On the weather front, the minimum temperature settled at 6.4 degrees Celsius, 3.1 notches below the season's average, and the maximum temperature is likely to hover around 24 degrees Celsius. The relative humidity was 100 per cent at 8.30 am, the IMD said.

The Jal Shakti ministry said untreated sewage, missing effluent treatment plants and project delays continue to pollute the Yamuna in Delhi.

Untreated sewage, missing effluent plants key reasons for Yamuna's pollution: Govt

The Jal Shakti ministry said untreated sewage, missing effluent treatment plants and project delays continue to pollute the Yamuna in Delhi.

Untreated sewage, missing effluent treatment plants, project delays and a major shortfall in solid waste processing are the key reasons the Yamuna remains polluted in the national capital, the Jal Shakti ministry said on Monday.
The ministry also said that the Delhi Jal Board spent about Rs 5,536 crore over the past three financial years on efforts to keep the river clean.
In a written response to a question in Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Jal Shakti Raj Bhushan Choudhary said Delhi had a sewage treatment gap of 414 MLD in August 2025, lacked common effluent treatment plants in several approved industrial areas, and continued to face delays in completing and upgrading sewage treatment projects.
He added that Delhi generates 11,862 tonnes of solid waste daily but has the capacity to treat only 7,641 tonnes, leaving a gap of 4,221 tonnes.
The minister noted that the Yamuna enters Delhi at Palla, where its water quality fluctuates through the year depending on water availability and catchment discharge.
Median Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels between January and July 2025 stood at 4 mg/l and 6 mg/l respectively, according to the Central Pollution Control Board.
A DPCC assessment in September recorded improved figures, with BOD at 2.5 mg/l and DO at 9.5 mg/l, both within healthy limits.
The minister said the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) is supporting states through financial assistance.
Under the Namami Gange programme, 35 projects amounting to Rs 6,534 crore have been sanctioned for Yamuna rejuvenation, aimed at creating 2,243 MLD of sewage treatment capacity.
Of these, 21 projects have been completed, he said.

NIA Raids in Kashmir's Pulwama Over Probe

The National Investigation Agency conducted raids at eight locations across Pulwama, Shopian, and Kulgam districts in connection with a &ldquo;white-collar&rdquo; terror module behind the deadly Delhi Red Fort car blast.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday carried out raids at eight locations in Pulwama, Shopian and Kulgam districts of Kashmir in connection with a "white-collar" terror module that was behind a car blast near Delhi's Red Fort, officials said here.
The NIA teams conducted searches at the residence of Moulvi Irfan Ahmad Wagay in Shopian, officials said. Wagay has emerged as the mastermind of the radicalisation and recruitment of the 'white-collar' terror module busted early last month.
He was arrested by police in October, and the NIA took him into custody last month after taking over the probe into the car blast that left 15 people dead and several others injured.
Raids were also carried out at Koil, Chandgam, Malangpora and Samboora areas of Pulwama district, officials said, adding these locations were linked to people associated with the Delhi car blast case.
Additionally, the agency searched the residence of Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, who was arrested from Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur in the first week of November.
Further details are awaited.

After 24 days of 'very poor' air, often bordering the 'severe' zone, the air quality in Delhi on Sunday had improved to the 'poor' category with a reading of 279.&nbsp;
However, data from the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) Sameer app showed that 24 of the 38 monitoring stations in the city registered air quality in the 'very poor' category, while the remaining 14 recorded 'poor' levels.&nbsp;
The winter chill, meanwhile, intensified with the minimum temperature dropping to 5.7 degrees Celsius, which is 4.6 degrees below the season's average, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.&nbsp;

The Supreme Court will hear a plea on Delhi-NCR’s worsening air quality on December 3, emphasizing regular monitoring and the need for long-term, expert-driven solutions to the region’s air pollution crisis.

Supreme Court to Examine Delhi-NCR Air Pollution on Dec 3

SC to Address Delhi-NCR Air Crisis

The Supreme Court will hear a plea on Delhi-NCR&rsquo;s worsening air quality on December 3, emphasizing regular monitoring and the need for long-term, expert-driven solutions to the region&rsquo;s air pollution crisis.

The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear on December 3 a plea concerning the deteriorating air quality in the Delhi&ndash;National Capital Region, saying the issue needed to be monitored on a regular basis.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi took note of the submissions of senior advocate Aparajita Singh, who is assisting the bench as an amicus curiae in the air pollution case, that there is an &ldquo;alarming situation in Delhi-NCR and it is a health emergency&rdquo;.
&ldquo;What magic wand can a judicial forum exercise? I know this is hazardous for Delhi-NCR. We all know the problem. The issue is what is the solution. We need to identify reasons and &hellip; the solutions can be given by the domain experts only. We hope and expect that long term solutions are found,&rdquo; the CJI said.
&ldquo;Tell me what can we direct? We issue some directions and get to breathe clean air immediately ... .Then we have to see what the solutions can be in each region. Let us see what the government has constituted in terms of committee. This matter is also listed ceremonial way during the Diwali season and &hellip;let us have regular monitoring,&rdquo; the CJI said.
On November 19, the court asked the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to consider directing schools in Delhi-NCR to postpone open-air sports events scheduled for November&ndash;December to &ldquo;safer months&rdquo; due to toxic air levels.
It had declined to impose year-round restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), an emergency framework that restricts polluting activities in severe conditions, and instead emphasised the need for long-term, sustainable solutions.

Delhi Police invoked charges under national integration laws against protesters who allegedly raised pro-Maoist slogans and used pepper spray during an anti-pollution demonstration at India Gate, with 22 individuals sent to judicial custody.

Delhi Police Intensify Charges Against Protesters at India Gate

Delhi Police Charge Protesters for Violent India Gate Clash

Delhi Police invoked charges under national integration laws against protesters who allegedly raised pro-Maoist slogans and used pepper spray during an anti-pollution demonstration at India Gate, with 22 individuals sent to judicial custody.

The Delhi Police has invoked charges under 'imputations and assertions prejudicial to national integration' in one of the FIRs registered against a group of protesters who allegedly raised pro-Maoist slogans and used pepper spray on police personnel during an anti-pollution demonstration at the India Gate on Sunday, an official said on Tuesday.
On Monday, the Delhi Police told a court here that the group of protesters arrested for allegedly using pepper spray on cops raised slogans hailing slain Maoist leader Madvi Hidma.
The police have registered two different FIRs -- one at the Kartavya Path police station against six protesters and the other at the Sansad Marg police station against 17 people.
The new section has been added to the Kartavya Path FIR. After the accused were produced before two magisterial courts, 22 were sent to judicial custody.
The newly-added Section 197 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) pertains to imputations and assertions prejudicial to national integration, which includes charges for disseminating false information that endangers India's sovereignty, unity, or security.
The FIR said the protesters raised alleged Maoist slogans, including "Hidma amar rahe", "Kitne Hidma maroge, har ghar se Hidma nikalega" and "Hidma lal salaam", prompting the addition of Section 197 for assertions deemed prejudicial to national integration.
Top Maoist commander Madvi Hidma, who masterminded several attacks over the past two decades, was killed in an encounter on November 18, a breakthrough the Chhattisgarh Police described as the "last nail in the coffin" of the insurgency.
Security forces gunned down Hidma, his wife Raje, and four other Naxalites in the action in Andhra Pradesh's Alluri Sitaramaraju district.
According to the Kartavya Path FIR, police had prior information that protesters under the banner of the Delhi Coordination Committee for Clean Air were planning to assemble at the India Gate.
They were also informed that activists from student groups, including AISA and the JNU Students' Union (JNUSU), were likely to join the protest.
&ldquo;When we reached the spot, we found a group of men and women carrying pamphlets and banners. They were informed that protests are not allowed at the India Gate and that the Jantar Mantar is the designated site for demonstrations," a senior police officer said.
Despite repeated warnings, several protesters climbed over barricades and entered the C-Hexagon, blocking traffic for over an hour.
As police attempted to disperse them, some protesters allegedly assaulted them. &ldquo;During the scuffle, a student attacked police, and some used a bottle containing pepper spray on our officers,&rdquo; police said.
Several policemen were injured and taken to the RML Hospital.
Another confrontation reportedly broke out at the Parliament Street police station when the detainees were brought there, officials said.
The Kartavya Path FIR now includes sections 74, 79, 115(2), 132, 197, 221 and 223 of the BSS, while the FIR lodged at the Parliament Street police station includes charges under BNS sections 223A, 132, 221, 121A and 126(2).

Delhi’s air quality stays in the ‘very poor’ category due to haze and ash clouds from an Ethiopian volcano, with temperatures dropping to 9°C and mist and fog expected in the coming days.

Dense Haze in Delhi Amid Volcanic Ash Concerns

Delhi Faces Haze, 'Very Poor' Air Amid Volcanic Ash

Delhi&rsquo;s air quality stays in the &lsquo;very poor&rsquo; category due to haze and ash clouds from an Ethiopian volcano, with temperatures dropping to 9&deg;C and mist and fog expected in the coming days.

A thick haze hung over Delhi on Monday as the city's air quality remained 'very poor' amid concerns that ash clouds from an volcanic activity in Ethiopia may worsen pollution levels in the region.
Hayli Gubbi, a shield volcano located in Ethiopia's Afar region, erupted on Sunday, producing a large ash plume rising to approximately 14 km (45,000 ft) in altitude and spreading eastward across the Red Sea.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the ash clouds are drifting towards China and will move away from India by 7.30 pm on Tuesday.
Forecast models indicated ash influence over Gujarat, Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana on Tuesday, the IMD said.
According to the morning air quality bulletin issued by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the air quality index (AQI) in the national capital remained in the 'very poor' category on Thursday at 360, after recording 382 on Monday.
One of the monitoring stations, Rohini, recorded 'severe' air quality with a reading of 416, according to the Sameer app developed by the CPCB.
The air quality is expected to remain in the 'very poor' category over the next few days.
According to the CPCB, an AQI between 0 and 50 is considered 'good', 51 and 100 'satisfactory', 101 and 200 'moderate', 201 and 300 'poor', 301 and 400 'very poor', and 401 and 500 'severe'.
On the weather front, the minimum temperature in Delhi settled at 9 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, 2.3 notches below the season's average, while the maximum temperature is likely to hover around 27 degrees Celsius, with a forecast of mist and moderate fog.

Four staff members of St Columba’s School, including the headmistress, have been suspended after an FIR was filed over a class 10 student’s alleged suicide linked to accusations of mental harassment.

Headmistress among four St Columba's School staffers suspended in student suicide case

Four staff members of St Columba&rsquo;s School, including the headmistress, have been suspended after an FIR was filed over a class 10 student&rsquo;s alleged suicide linked to accusations of mental harassment.

Four staff members, including the headmistress of St Columba's School, have been suspended after an FIR was registered against them in connection with the alleged suicide of a class 10 student who had accused them of mental harassment.
A senior Delhi Education Department official said a committee has been formed to probe the allegations and review the school's handling of the case. It has been asked to submit its report within three days.
According to the suspension order, the headmistress (Classes 4-10), the coordinator for Classes 9 and 10, and two teachers have been placed under temporary suspension while the matter is being examined.
The student's father told PTI that the suspension was "only temporary" and demanded the arrest of the teachers named in the FIR. "We need to send a message that no teacher should treat our children like that," he said.
The Education Department said, "In pursuance of the imperative to comprehensively ascertain the factual matrix, causative circumstances and administrative accountability associated with the unfortunate incident that occurred on November 18, it has constituted a High-Level Inquiry Committee comprising senior officers."
It added that the committee will undertake a "thorough, objective and time-bound inquiry" and submit a comprehensive report with findings, observations and recommendations within three days of the order's issuance.
The suspension order sent to the four staff members individually mentioned, "In view of the seriousness of the allegations, the competent authority has decided to place you under suspension with immediate effect."
It specifies that the staffers will remain suspended until the completion of the investigation and further directions from the competent authority.
They have been instructed to remain available for official communication, refrain from visiting the school premises, and avoid interaction with students, staff or parents without prior written permission from the administration.
The class 10 student, who had reportedly dreamt of becoming "the next Shah Rukh Khan", died on Tuesday after he allegedly jumped from the Rajendra Place Metro Station around 2.34 pm.
He was taken to BLK Super Speciality Hospital, where doctors declared him dead, police said.
A senior police officer said the boy left a suicide note naming a few teachers, alleging mental harassment, apologising to his family, and requesting that his organs be donated.
The FIR, registered at the Rajendra Nagar police station, includes charges related to abetment of suicide.
Police are recording statements of classmates, teachers and school authorities as part of the investigation.

Multiple Delhi courts and two CRPF-run schools received bomb threats on Tuesday, prompting evacuations and large-scale security inspections. All checks so far have found no explosives.

Multiple courts, CRPF schools in Delhi receive bomb threat; all found to be hoax

Multiple Delhi courts and two CRPF-run schools received bomb threats on Tuesday, prompting evacuations and large-scale security inspections. All checks so far have found no explosives.

Multiple courts in Delhi, Saket, Dwarka and Patiala House, along with two CRPF-run schools, received bomb threats on Tuesday morning, prompting large-scale security checks across the national capital, officials said.
Police said an email warning of explosives planted on court premises was received early morning, following which security teams were alerted to inspect the premises of these district courts. Nothing suspicious was found after the security checks.
Around the same time, an unidentified man called the Police Control Room (PCR) around 9 am, claiming that bombs had been placed inside CRPF schools located in Prashant Vihar and Dwarka. The threat triggered immediate mobilisation of local police, bomb disposal squads and the Delhi Fire Services at all locations.
"After receiving the call, teams were rushed to both schools and the buildings were evacuated as a precaution," a senior police officer said. He said the caller's phone switched off soon after issuing the threat, and efforts are underway to trace him.
Parallel checks were carried out at the three court complexes based on the email alert. "We thoroughly inspected the schools, and nothing suspicious was found. The threat was declared a hoax," a Delhi Fire Services official said.
Police sources said similar inspections at the courts are underway, but nothing suspicious has been found so far.
Dhir Singh Kasana, former secretary of the Saket Court Bar Association, said that court proceedings had been suspended for around two hours and would resume after lunch.
Navneet Panwar, vice president of the New Delhi Bar Association in Patiala House courts, confirmed that a bomb threat had been received by email, following which a sanitisation exercise was conducted. "The court proceedings are on. There was only a brief halt," Panwar said.
Meanwhile, there was heavy security in Patiala House courts as Jasir Bilal Wani, NIA's second arrest in the Red Fort bomb blast probe, was to be produced here.
These hoax calls come in the wake of the recent Red Fort blast. A car carrying an improvised explosive device exploded near the historical monument on November 10, claiming 15 lives and injuring several others. Investigators have found the alleged links of the incident with the terror module security agencies busted in Faridabad, Haryana, before the blast.

The Enforcement Directorate conducted early morning raids at Al Falah University in Faridabad and multiple Delhi-NCR locations as part of its probe into alleged terror financing linked to the Red Fort blast case.

ED raids Al Falah University, linked persons in Delhi Red Fort blast case

The Enforcement Directorate conducted early morning raids at Al Falah University in Faridabad and multiple Delhi-NCR locations as part of its probe into alleged terror financing linked to the Red Fort blast case.

The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday conducted simultaneous searches in Delhi-NCR against the trustees and promoters of Al Falah University of Faridabad, the varsity central to the Red Fort area car blast case, officials said.
Multiple teams of the federal probe agency raided at least 25 premises of the Al Falah trust and University establishment since 5:15 am, they said.
Teams of the agency raided an office location in Delhi's Okhla area with a security cordon being provided by the police and paramilitary forces.
Fifteen persons have been killed in the blast that took place on November 10 near the iconic monument in Delhi, and the role of a number of doctors linked to the University and in Kashmir is under the scanner of the anti-terror probe agencies.
"The operation forms part of an ongoing investigation into financial irregularities, use of shell companies, accommodation entities and money laundering. The role of Al-Falah Trust and related entities is under investigation," an ED official said.
The official said "key" personnel overseeing finance and administration of the trust and the University have also been covered in the raids.
The agency has taken cognisance of the first information reports filed by the NIA and the Delhi Police in the case. Till now, the NIA has arrested two persons, stated to be the alleged close aides of "suicide bomber" Dr Umar Nabi.
At least nine shell (dummy) companies linked to the group, all registered at a single address, are under the examination of the ED, according to the officials.
Preliminary findings point to multiple "risk" indicators consistent with shell-company behaviour like no physical presence or meaningful utility consumption at declared places of business and common mobile number and email across various companies and accounts.
The ED investigators have also found absence of EPFO/ESIC filings inconsistent with reported scale of operations and overlapping of directors/signatories and weak KYC trails across entities.
Instances of minimal salary disbursal through banking channels and absence of HR (human resource) records, apart from synchronised incorporation patterns and common contact coordinates across firms, have been detected at the varsity, the officials said.
In addition, prima facie discrepancies have been noted in claims regarding UGC and NAAC recognition, which indicate alleged non-compliance to norms established for educational institutions, the officials said.
The Al Falah varsity is located in the Dhouj area of Haryana's Faridabad district, and it is a medical college-cum-hospital.

A self-recorded video of Red Fort suicide bomber Dr Umar un Nabi shows his methodical planning and radicalised ideology, framing the attack as a “martyrdom operation” and offering insight into the extremist mindset.

Red Fort bomber Umar calls suicide bombing 'very misunderstood’ in an unseen video

A self-recorded video of Red Fort suicide bomber Dr Umar un Nabi shows his methodical planning and radicalised ideology, framing the attack as a &ldquo;martyrdom operation&rdquo; and offering insight into the extremist mindset.

A week after the deadly car blast near Delhi&rsquo;s iconic Red Fort, which claimed at least 14 lives and injured over 20, a chilling self-recorded video of the suicide bomber, Dr Umar un Nabi, has emerged, offering a rare glimpse into the radicalised mind behind the attack.
In the video, Dr Umar, speaking fluent English with a measured accent, discusses the concept of suicide bombing, which he describes as &ldquo;very misunderstood.&rdquo; He insists that what is commonly labelled a &ldquo;suicide bombing&rdquo; is actually a &ldquo;martyrdom operation&rdquo; in Islam.
&ldquo;One of the very misunderstood concepts is the concept of what has been labelled as suicide bombing. It is a martyrdom operation... known in Islam. Now, there are multiple contradictions; there are multiple arguments that have been brought against it,&rdquo; he says.&nbsp;
He explains that a &ldquo;martyrdom&rdquo; operation is when a person assumes they will die at a specific place and time, acting against the natural presumption of death. In his case, he adds, &ldquo;we don&rsquo;t have the situation,&rdquo; and cautions, &ldquo;Don't fear death.&rdquo;
Investigators believe the November 10 blast, which ripped through a busy street near the historic Red Fort, was accidental and that Dr Umar had planned a larger-scale suicide bombing in the future. The force of the explosion shattered shopfronts and caused panic across the Old Delhi area, one of the most crowded parts of the capital.&nbsp;
The video also makes it clear that the attack had been carefully planned, negating earlier speculation that the blast may have been triggered inadvertently during transportation of explosives.
Dr Umar, a doctor by profession, was the most radicalised member of the so-called &ldquo;white collar&rdquo; Faridabad terror module that carried out the attack. The module, allegedly linked to the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist group, reportedly included nine to ten members, among them five to six doctors. These individuals used their positions at the tainted Al-Falah University to procure chemicals and other materials necessary for explosives.
Investigators believe Dr Umar recorded the video as a means to brainwash others, demonstrating the methodical and deeply radicalised mindset of the bomber. His articulate discussion of suicide bombing and martyrdom reveals that he had reflected extensively on these subjects, presenting a calm and composed fa&ccedil;ade while justifying a heinous act.

The NIA has exposed a sophisticated terror plot behind the Delhi blast, revealing that the module planned drone-based and rocket-style explosive attacks before executing a suicide car bombing near Red Fort.

NIA uncovers Hamas-style drone-weaponisation plot behind Delhi blast conspiracy

The NIA has exposed a sophisticated terror plot behind the Delhi blast, revealing that the module planned drone-based and rocket-style explosive attacks before executing a suicide car bombing near Red Fort.

As the probe into the deadly Delhi blast intensifies, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has uncovered an even more sinister terror conspiracy, revealing that the white-collar terror module behind the attack had planned to weaponise drones and develop rocket-style explosives before eventually resorting to a suicide car bomb.
Investigators said the group initially intended to carry out rocket bomb attacks across Delhi and other high-security zones, modifying drone technology to create a rocket-based explosive delivery system capable of causing large-scale casualties and panic&mdash;tactics commonly employed by outfits such as Hamas and ISIS.
The plot has drawn parallels with the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, during which drones were used as a primary weapon of disruption and destruction.
According to sources, the terrorists attempted to create powerful drones fitted with large batteries to carry heavier bombs and cameras, planning to fly a weaponised drone over a crowded area for maximum casualties.
Many nations have been preparing for such drone-based threats, and India too has been strengthening its drone strike and anti-drone units at scale.
The NIA discovered the magnitude of this threat following two major arrests made within 48 hours.
One key suspect, Jasir Bilal Wani, alias Danish, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested in Srinagar.
Described by the NIA as an &ldquo;active co-conspirator&rdquo; of the suicide bomber, Wani allegedly provided crucial technical support for modifying drones and attempting to build rocket-based explosives.
A political science graduate, he had been intensely radicalised by key accused Dr Umar un Nabi over several months and was being prepared as a suicide bomber.
He admitted to meeting members of the &ldquo;Doctor module&rdquo; in October last year at a mosque in Kulgam, after which he was taken to a rented accommodation near Al Falah University in Haryana&rsquo;s Faridabad.
Prior to Wani&rsquo;s arrest, the NIA had detained another suspect, Amir, also from Jammu and Kashmir, who played a crucial role in procuring the vehicle used by Dr Umar.
With these arrests, investigators were able to piece together how the module attempted to rope in multiple technical experts to execute their plan, analysing digital devices, communication trails, and suspicious procurement patterns to identify collaborators and assess the extent of the drone-weaponisation efforts.
When their rocket and drone attack plans failed, the terror group moved ahead with a car bomb.
On November 10, a Hyundai i20 packed with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) detonated on a busy road near Delhi&rsquo;s Red Fort, killing fourteen people and injuring dozens.
The explosion took place just hours after police seized a massive cache of explosives from Faridabad-based Al Falah University, exposing what investigators have described as a highly coordinated and sophisticated attack plotted by a &ldquo;white-collar terror network.&rdquo;
The suicide bomber who drove the explosive-laden vehicle has been identified as Dr Umar un Nabi, a Kashmiri doctor associated with Al Falah University.
Several doctors and others linked to the module have been arrested, with raids continuing across Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi.
The NIA has stated that it is examining all angles and pursuing multiple leads as the investigation widens.

Delhi court sent Amir Rashid Ali, accused in the Red Fort blast that killed 13 and injured several on November 10, to 10-day NIA custody. The car used in the attack was registered in his name.

India International Trade Fair begins at Pragati Maidan amid tight security

Delhi Police have strengthened security at Pragati Maidan ahead of the India International Trade Fair, with multi-layered checks, heavy deployment and traffic restrictions following the Red Fort blast that killed 13.

Delhi Police has beefed up security in and around Pragati Maidan, where the India International Trade Fair is set to begin on Friday, an official said.
The security has already been tightened in the national capital after a blast near Red Fort killed 13 people and injured over two dozen people on Monday evening.
The 14-day trade fair, scheduled to be held from November 14 to 27, is expected to draw nearly 60,000 visitors daily, prompting multi-layered checks, enhanced surveillance and traffic restrictions around the venue.
A senior police officer said that additional personnel, traffic police and specialised units have been deployed across the exhibition grounds.
Anti-sabotage teams, Quick Reaction Teams and dog squads are conducting routine sweeps, while CCTV monitoring has been expanded to manage high footfall, especially over the weekends.&nbsp;
All the entry and exit points have been placed under strict access control to prevent any security lapse.
The Delhi Traffic Police said diversions and parking restrictions will remain in force throughout the fair period. Commuters have been advised to use public transport.
"The force is leaving no stone unturned to keep the city secure in the aftermath of the explosion near Red Fort. Units across the capital have been directed to maintain maximum vigil, conduct random checking and increase patrolling around crowded places, markets and transport hubs," said the officer.&nbsp;
