| Day 2, Part II can be seen here. It’s a Jaish e-Mohammad plot — arrests started days ago. Day 1 can be seen here. UPDATE at 11:25 a.m. ET: Whoops!!! Major apologies — this is a separate explosion in Pakistan, not yesterday’s New Delhi one in front of the Red Fort. I’m going to leave Part 1 here anyway, because there is so much of it and it’s already set up. Again, my apologies for my carelessness. — trailing wife for herself only, the other moderators are innocent of this one. :-( |
Police told reporters that the explosion occurred in a car parked outside the building. Afterward, everyone was evacuated from the building, and the court proceedings were suspended.
Rescuers, medics, and law enforcement arrived at the scene. The injured were taken to the hospital. According to preliminary reports, the explosion was carried out by a suicide bomber.
The channel notes that Pakistani authorities are struggling with the rising number of terrorist attacks in the country. From January to August, more than 600 terrorist attacks were recorded in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province alone, resulting in the deaths of at least 138 civilians and 79 law enforcement officers.

INITIAL PROBE SUGGESTS 'ACCIDENTAL' DETONATION OF EXPLOSIVES
Findings of the initial probe into the blast near the Red Fort suggest it may have been “accidentally triggered” while a hastily assembled explosive device was being transported, following the busting of an inter-state terror module, officials said on Tuesday.
Investigators have zeroed in on a Pulwama-based doctor, Umar Nabi, who was driving the car used in the explosion that claimed 12 lives, and had alleged links to the terror module busted with the recovery of explosives mainly from neighbouring Faridabad in Haryana.
On Tuesday, the Jammu and Kashmir Police took a DNA sample from Nabi’s mother to establish the relation.

DR. UMAR WAS DRIVING CAR THAT EXPLODED NEAR RED FORT: SECURITY SOURCES
Dr. Umar, who was part of an extensive terror module and was working at the Al-Falah Medical College in Haryana’s Faridabad, was driving the car that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday evening, killing at least 13 people and injuring 20 others, senior security sources said on Tuesday.
Based on CCTV camera footage, it can be almost conclusively established that the car in which the explosion took place was being driven by Dr. Umar, the sources said.
During the operations carried out by the security agencies at multiple locations in Kashmir and Faridabad since October 19, it has been found that Dr. Umar, who was part of the terror module and was working at the Al-Falah Medical College, changed his location due to continuous pressure from the agencies, they said.

DELHI BLAST COULD BE RESULT OF PANIC RATHER THAN PRE-PLANNED ACT: SECURITY SOURCES
The blast near the Red Fort that killed at least 13 people on Monday may have been caused due to panic and desperation after raids carried out by the security agencies across multiple locations in Delhi-NCR and Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, to nab suspects believed to be part of a terror module, preliminary assessment by security agencies said.
Senior security sources also said the bomb was premature and not fully developed, thus limiting the impact.
The explosion did not create a crater, and no shrapnel or projectiles were found on the spot, averting a major attack due to “pan-India alertness and coordinated crackdown” on suspect modules, the security assessment said.
Whether it was pre-planned or accidental will be ascertained during the course of a detailed probe, the sources said.

SECURITY TIGHTENED ALONG INDO-NEPAL BORDER AFTER DELHI BLAST
Uttar Pradesh Police and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), along with various intelligence agencies, have increased vigil on the Sonauli border of India and Nepal following the high-intensity explosion near the Red Fort metro station in New Delhi last evening, officials said.
Security agencies have been asked to ascertain the identities of people before allowing them to cross over through the border, Superintendent of Police (SP) Mahrajganj Somendra Meena said today.
To strengthen the security arrangements at the porous India-Nepal border and to stop infiltration of anti-national elements, the SSB has installed closed-circuit cameras and drone cameras on every route leading to Nepal.
These cameras have been put on the SSB posts beside the main roads. “Metal detectors have been installed at Sonauli and Tuthibari outposts on the India-Nepal border,” Ms. Meena said.

POLICE CONDUCT SEARCH OPERATION IN FARIDABAD DAY AFTER RECOVERY OF HUGE CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES
An extensive combing and search operation was conducted in parts of Faridabad today, a day after 2,900 kg of explosives and inflammable material were recovered from two rented rooms of a Kashmiri doctor in Faridabad.
Preliminary probe into the blast near Delhi’s Red Fort on Monday evening has suggested links to the alleged terror module uncovered in Faridabad.
Police today said a team is camping at the Al Falah University, where the Kashmiri doctor lived for the past three-and-a-half years, and is questioning staff and doctors there.
The Al Falah University at Dhouj in Haryana’s Faridabad district, around 45 km from Delhi, is a private institute recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
Several police personnel are conducting a search in the Dhauj police station area.
Haryana police chief O.P. Singh, in a post on X on today, said, “The situation in the state is peaceful. Police and other agencies are on high alert.”
In another post, he nixed reports about fresh recovery of explosives in Faridabad, saying, “Diwali crackers have been seized in Faridabad. This is not the recovery of explosives.”
