| India arrests IIOJK resident over Delhi car blast | ||||
| 2025-11-17 | ||||
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... (IIOJK) who it accused of conspiring with the driver of a car that went kaboom!in Delhi last week, killing 12 people and wounding at least 20 others. The National Investigation Agency said it had arrested Amir Rashid Ali
The NIA accused Ali of conspiring with the alleged jacket wallah, who it identified as Umar Un Nabi, a resident of IIOJK's Pulwama district. It said Ali came to Delhi to facilitate the purchase of the car, which was used as a "vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Device to trigger the blast." The agency said it had seized another vehicle belonging to Nabi for examination. So far, it has interrogated 73 witnesses, including those injured in the blast. Last week, the Indian government said it was treating the car blast as a "terror incident" and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice as swiftly as possible. The blast outside Delhi's historic Red Fort was the first such explosion in the heavily guarded city since 2011. It was also the most significant security incident since April 22, when 26 non-combatants were killed at the tourist site of Pahalgam in IIOJK. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the Delhi blast a "conspiracy", and vowed that those responsible would face justice. India's Home Minister, Amit Shah, said he had instructed officials "to hunt down each and every culprit behind this incident". The blast occurred four days after a kaboom rocked IIOJK's Srinagar, killing at least nine people and injuring over two dozen. Indian officials said that the blast took place when a stockpile of confiscated explosives detonated inside a cop shoppe, resulting in most fatalities among coppers and forensic team members inspecting the explosives.
White-collar terror module hunted for suicide bomber for a year, say officials The hunt was reportedly driven by Dr Umar Nabi, considered the key planner of the module. The sophisticated ‘white-collar’ terror module recently busted by the Jammu and Kashmir Police had been searching for a suicide bomber since 2024, officials said on Sunday. The hunt was reportedly driven by Dr Umar Nabi, considered the key planner of the module, PTI reported. According to investigators, a co-accused revealed during questioning that Umar believed to have died in the explosives-laden car that blew up near the Red Fort on November 10 was a “hardcore radical” who insisted that their operations required a suicide attacker. WHAT HAPPENED? Acting on these inputs, Srinagar Police sent a team to Qazigund and detained Jasir alias ‘Danish’, a political science graduate. His name surfaced during the interrogation of other arrested doctors, including Dr Adeel Rather and Dr Muzzaffar Ganaie. The police team led by Srinagar SSP Dr G V Sundeep Chakravarthy eventually unraveled the entire ‘white-collar’ module. Jasir told police he first met the ‘doctor module’ in October last year at a mosque in Kulgam. From there, he was taken to a rented accommodation linked to Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana. He said while some members wanted him to work as an over-ground worker (OGW) for the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed, Umar spent months trying to convince him to become a suicide bomber. The plan collapsed in April this year when Jasir refused, citing financial difficulties and his belief that suicide is forbidden in Islam. WHY THE NEW REVELATION IS IMPORTANT? This revelation about the group scouting for a suicide bomber adds a dangerous layer to the ongoing probe into the Jaish-e-Mohammed-linked interstate terror network. As reported earlier by PTI, Umar, a 28-year-old doctor from Pulwama, emerged as the most radicalised member of the group. Investigators believe he was preparing a powerful vehicle-borne IED attack around the Babri Masjid demolition anniversary on December 6. Umar’s radical shift is believed to have begun after a 2021 trip to Turkiye with co-accused Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, during which they allegedly met JeM over-ground workers. After returning, Umar and Ganaie, who were both associated with Al Falah University, started procuring large quantities of chemicals — including 360 kg of ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur. Much of this material was stored near the university campus. Their December plot unraveled when Srinagar Police arrested Ganaie and seized the explosives. Investigators believe this may have triggered panic in Umar, ultimately leading to the premature blast near the Red Fort that killed 13 people. The wider network was uncovered after a seemingly small incident: JeM posters appeared on walls in Bunpora, Nowgam, on October 19. The police reviewed CCTV footage and arrested three locals, Arif Nisar Dar alias Sahil, Yasir-ul-Ashraf, and Maqsood Ahmad Dar alias Shahid — all with past stone-pelting cases. Their interrogation led to the arrest of Maulvi Irfan Ahmad, a former paramedic-turned-Imam from Shopian, who allegedly supplied the posters and played a key role in radicalizing the doctors.
An NIA forensic probe had established the identity of the deceased driver of the ill-fated car as Umar Un Nabi, a resident of Pulwama district, who worked as an Assistant Professor at Al Falah University at Faridabad. Earlier on Saturday, the Delhi Police has detained three people, including two doctors from Haryana's Al Falah University, which has emeged as a crucial link in the terror module case. The NIA further said it is pursuing multiple leads to unearth the larger conspiracy behind the bombing and identify others involved in the case. The anti-terror agency said it seized another vehicle belonging to Umar. The vehicle is being examined for evidence in the case, in which NIA has so far examined 73 witnesses, including those injured in the blast.
