Red Fort blast in Delhi kills 12: What we know so far

Delhi blast near Red Fort kills 12. FIR under UAPA filed; suspect linked to Faridabad terror module. Probe and security tightening continue.

A day after a powerful car blast near Delhi&rsquo;s Red Fort left 12 people dead and several injured, the investigation has revealed chilling details pointing to a possible terror conspiracy with links to a recently busted module in Faridabad.
<h3>FIR Registered Under UAPA, Raids Across Delhi</h3>
The Delhi Police on Tuesday registered an FIR under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Explosives Act, invoking sections related to conspiracy and execution of a terror attack. Multiple raids were carried out across the national capital after preliminary findings suggested connections between the Red Fort blast and the Faridabad terror module.
The blast occurred on Monday evening near the Red Fort Metro Station, where a Hyundai i20 car exploded, gutting several nearby vehicles.
<h3>High-Level Security Meeting Led by Amit Shah</h3>
Union Home Minister Amit Shah convened a high-level review meeting at the North Block to assess the situation. The meeting was attended by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, IB Director Tapan Deka, Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha, and NIA DG Sadanand Vasant Date. J&amp;K DGP Nalin Prabhat joined virtually to provide inputs, given the suspected Kashmir link to the case.
Shah visited the LNJP Hospital on Monday night to meet the injured and assured that &ldquo;those responsible will be brought to justice.&rdquo;
<h3>Suspect Identified as Pulwama-Based Doctor</h3>
According to police sources, the prime suspect is Umar Mohammad, a doctor from Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, allegedly associated with the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) network. CCTV footage captured a masked man driving the Hyundai i20, later identified as Umar, moments before the blast near the Red Fort Metro parking area.
Sources said Umar had ties to the Faridabad terror module, where police had earlier seized 2,900 kg of explosives, including ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur. Among this, 360 kg of highly inflammable material was recovered.
Officials suspect Umar carried out the blast fearing arrest after several members of his module were detained in Faridabad earlier on Monday.
<h3>The Faridabad Connection</h3>
Hours before the Delhi blast, eight individuals, including three doctors, were arrested in Faridabad as part of a joint operation between Haryana and Jammu &amp; Kashmir Police. The arrested individuals were allegedly running a &ldquo;white-collar terror network,&rdquo; using their professional backgrounds as cover for extremist activities.
Police believe Umar was closely linked to this group and that the Red Fort explosion was a desperate retaliatory act. A man named Tariq, also from Pulwama, is said to have provided Umar with the car used in the blast.
<h3>Explosives and Preliminary Findings</h3>
Initial forensic analysis suggests the use of ammonium nitrate mixed with fuel oil and detonators &mdash; similar to materials recovered from the Faridabad module. Police said the car had been parked for nearly three hours near the Red Fort before the explosion at 6:52 pm.
&ldquo;Final forensic reports are awaited,&rdquo; a police source said, adding that the possibility of a suicide bombing or a larger coordinated terror plan has not been ruled out.
<h3>Security Tightened Across Delhi</h3>
Following the explosion, the national capital has been placed on high alert. Security has been strengthened at airports, metro stations, bus terminals, and railway stations. All vehicles entering Delhi are being thoroughly checked at border points, with special focus on commercial carriers.
Teams have also conducted overnight searches in Daryaganj and Paharganj, verifying hotel records and questioning staff for any suspicious guests.
<h3>Traffic &amp; Metro Restrictions</h3>
The Red Fort Metro Station has been shut temporarily &ldquo;due to security reasons,&rdquo; the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said on X. The Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory restricting movement on Netaji Subhash Marg from Chatta Rail Cut to Subhash Marg Cut, urging commuters to use alternate routes until further notice.
<h3>Echoes of Past Attacks</h3>
The Red Fort has been the target of terror in the past.
December 2000: Three people were killed in a Lashkar-e-Taiba attack at the monument.
December 2001: A major strike targeted the Indian Parliament, killing 13, and bringing India and Pakistan close to war.
<h3>The Road Ahead</h3>
Investigating agencies including the Delhi Police, NIA, and Intelligence Bureau are jointly probing the case. Forensic experts are analyzing remains of the car and explosive residues. Officials said the probe will focus on funding routes, logistical support, and the network of sympathizers within and outside Delhi.
With the city on high alert and the investigation widening, authorities have assured citizens that no angle will be overlooked in uncovering the full scope of the conspiracy behind the Red Fort blast.

Initial probe suggest detonators used in Delhi blast, links with Faridabad terror module: Sources

Umar Mohammad, a doctor from Pulwama, allegedly drove Hyundai i20 that exploded near Red Fort, killing nine. Delhi Police link blast to Faridabad terror module and intensify security.

The man driving the car that exploded near the Red Fort, killing at least nine people, allegedly had links to the Faridabad terror module where a huge cache of explosive material was seized, Delhi Police sources said on Tuesday.
According to sources, Umar Mohammad, a Pulwama resident and a doctor, was allegedly driving the Hyundai i20 car used in the explosion near the parking area of the Red Fort Metro Station. Preliminary findings by police suggest ammonium nitrate, fuel oil, and detonators may have been used in the blast.
A police source said initial findings indicate a possible link between the Delhi blast and the Faridabad terror module, where 360 kg of ammonium nitrate was seized. "Final reports are awaited," the source added.
Police said CCTV footage of the car that exploded shows a "masked man" driving. Multiple teams have been deployed to scan CCTV from the vicinity of the Red Fort and adjoining routes.
Delhi Police remains on high alert after a powerful blast ripped through a slow-moving car at a traffic signal near the Red Fort metro station on Monday evening, killing at least nine people, injuring 20, and gutting several vehicles.
Hours before the blast in Delhi, eight people, including three doctors, were arrested and 2,900 kg of explosives were seized with the uncovering of a &ldquo;white collar&rdquo; terror module. The recovered explosives in Faridabad include ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur. Of this, 360 kg of inflammable material suspected to be ammonium nitrate and some arms and ammunition were recovered.
Police sources alleged Umar Mohammad was another doctor in the Faridabad module who had already been arrested. Umar Mohammad, a doctor by profession, was allegedly associated with the Jaish-e-Mohammad terror module.
According to sources, a man named Tariq from Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, who has been arrested, is said to have given the Hyundai i20 car to Umar Mohammad. After his fellow doctors in the module were arrested, Umar Mohammad allegedly carried out the attack fearing he too might be caught, sources added.
Following the blast, security across the national capital has been intensified, with vehicle checking at all border points intensified as well. All vehicles entering Delhi, whether private or commercial, are being thoroughly checked and verified.
"Multiple teams have been deployed to scan CCTV footage from the vicinity of the Red Fort and adjoining routes to know more about the masked man driving the Hyundai i20 car in which the explosion occurred," a police source said. "We also got to know that the vehicle was parked in a nearby parking lot for three hours before the blast. Footage of different parking lots are also being monitored," the source added.
An overnight search operation was conducted at hotels and guest houses in Daryaganj and Paharganj areas to trace possible suspects. Police checked hotel registers, verified entries, and questioned staff to identify anyone matching the suspect's description.
All police stations in the national capital have been asked to stay alert and maintain strict vigil at local markets, metro stations, bus stands, and railway stations. "Teams have been asked to stay alert, attend all emergency-related calls, intensify checking in their area, and report any suspicious activity immediately," said a police officer.
Police have registered an FIR into the matter, and multiple teams from the Special Cell, Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), and local police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the explosion. They are also probing whether it could be a case of a "suicide bombing" or a larger terror plot, said the source.
Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha had said the explosion took place around 6.52 pm in a slow-moving Hyundai i20 car at a traffic signal near the Red Fort Metro Station. "There were passengers inside the vehicle. Other vehicles nearby were also affected. Teams from the Delhi Police, FSL, NIA, and NSG inspected the place of occurrence and are taking stock of the situation," he said.
Officers said the blast gutted several vehicles and shattered window panes of nearby cars, buildings, and glass panels of the metro station. According to the Delhi Fire Services, ten fire tenders were rushed to the spot, and the blaze was brought under control by 7.29 pm.
"All the senior officers are also looking that the blast is related to the Faridabad terror network," another source said. Videos shared by local traders showed the magnitude of the explosion &mdash; mangled bodies, damaged vehicles, and scattered debris near the blast site.
Police said nine people were killed, while 20 others, including two women, were injured and taken to LNJP Hospital. Among the injured, 12 are residents of Delhi, and eight belong to other states, including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh.
The deceased include Ashok Kumar (34) from Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, and Amar Kataria (35) from Delhi, while others remain unidentified and are aged between 28 and 58 years. One mutilated body was recovered from the mangled remains of the car, officials said.
