Red Fort Car Bomb Blast Chargesheet

The India — National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 accused in the Red Fort area car bomb explosion case, which occurred on November 10, 2025, in India. The high-intensity Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) blast killed 11 people and caused extensive property damage. All 10 accused, including the main perpetrator Umar Un Nabi (deceased), were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent (AQIS). The accused, some of whom were radicalized medical professionals, were inspired by AQIS/AGuH ideology. At a clandestine meeting in Srinagar in 2022, they reconstituted AGuH as 'AGuH Interim' and launched 'Operation Heavenly Hind,' aimed at overthrowing the democratically established Indian Government and imposing Sharia rule. As part of this operation, they recruited members, propagated 'jihadi' ideology, stockpiled arms and ammunition, and manufactured explosives like Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP). The investigation also revealed plans to expand operations and target security establishments in India with rocket and drone-mounted IEDs. The India — National Investigation Agency's probe involved extensive scientific and forensic investigation, including DNA fingerprinting of Umar Un Nabi, and evidence collection across multiple states.
