NEW DELHI: The NIA has arrested a Kashmiri resident who had conspired with suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi to carry out the suicide blast at Red Fort last Monday.Amir Rashid Ali, a resident of Samboora, Pampore, in whose name the car involved in the attack was registered, was arrested in Delhi.”Amir had come to Delhi to facilitate the purchase of the car, which was eventually used as a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (IED) to trigger the blast,” the NIA said.The NIA also confirmed on Sunday that it had forensically established the identity of the deceased driver of the vehicle-borne IED as Umar Un Nabi, a resident of Pulwama district who worked as an assistant professor in general medicine department in Al Falah University at Faridabad.The anti-terror agency has also seized another vehicle belonging to Nabi, it said.

PATNA/NEW DELHI: RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad’s daughter Rohini Acharya’s outburst at her brother Tejashwi Yadav and his close associates for “abusing” and “throwing” her out of home is snowballing into a full-blown family feud and hints at increasing internal rumblings over the decisions of the party’s anointed heir after its bid for office unravelled spectacularly in the assembly polls.As she dropped another bombshell on Sunday by saying she was dissed for donating her “dirty kidney” to Lalu and was accused of extracting crores of rupees and a Lok Sabha ticket, three of her sisters – Ragini, Chanda and Rajlakshmi – left their parents’ Patna residence. Their brother Tej Pratap Yadav, disowned by his father and ousted from the party last year, spoke up against Rohini’s “humiliation”.Lalu, his younger son and political heir Tejashwi, and other family members have maintained silence, an indication of the division and conflicted emotions within. The party too has kept mum.Some party leaders suggested that differences among the siblings have long been simmering as Tejashwi took firmer control of the party and leaned on a set of advisers loyal to him to run its affairs. That arrangement has come up for questioning.Insult meted out to my sister is intolerable: Tej PratapBut the Bihar assembly poll debacle has opened up this style of functioning to questioning. Rohini said everybody is wondering what fate has befallen RJD, a party that governed Bihar between 1990 and 2005.Tej Pratap said in a social media post, “Yesterday’s incident has shaken me. But the insult meted out to my sister is intolerable. “I tolerated whatever happened to me but her humiliation cannot be tolerated under any condition… The consequence of this injustice will be very dire.”.He accused ‘Jaichands’ (betrayers), widely believed to be a reference to a couple of Tejashwi’s close associates, including Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Yadav, of targeting the Yadav family. Appealing to Lalu, he said, “Just one nod, and the people of Bihar will bury these Jaichands themselves. This fight is not for any party; it is for the honour of the family, the dignity of the daughter, and the self-respect of Bihar.”As the family fallout played out, TV footage showed three more daughters of Lalu’s reaching Patna airport with their children to catch a flight, reportedly for Delhi. None of them spoke to the media. Incidentally, their departure came hours after Rohini advised women to “look after your in-laws and families and take care of your children” rather than parents.”I would tell all married women never to do anything to save their parents, and if they have a brother, they should ask him to donate his own kidney or ask his Haryanavi friend to do so,” she said in an emotional post. She said she had committed a blunder by not obtaining permission from her husband and in-laws and not thinking about the future of her three children before donating a kidney to her father.Earlier, she alleged she was humiliated and abused, and a slipper was lifted to hit her. She said her parents, Lalu and Rabri Devi, both former CMs, were crying and blamed Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Nemat Khan, who hails from Uttar Pradesh and is said to be Tejashwi’s friend, for her “fate”. She named her brother too but directed most of her anger at his two associates.The developments followed RJD’s disastrous performance in the just-held assembly elections in Bihar, in which the party could win only 25 seats after contesting 143. Tejashwi was officially projected as MGB’s chief ministerial candidate.Meanwhile, the JD(U) asked Lalu to explain the developments and act. “She is the daughter of entire Bihar, then why are you silent, Lalu ji… Please break your silence,” JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said.About the AuthorManoj ChaurasiaManoj Chaurasia is a senior political journalist having experience of working for top national and international media in a career spanning over 25 years.

LUCKNOW/KANPUR: Investigators are racing to close the arc of a Jaish-e-Mohammed project they said was years in the making – one that turned a campus doctor into “Madam Surgeon” of a cross-border terrorist blueprint.The alleged architect linking these threads is 43-year-old Dr Shaheen Shahid – “Madam Surgeon” in the underground lexicon of the JeM module of medics accused of the Nov 10 New Delhi car blast and preparing coordinated terrorist strikes on six cities, investigators said.Investigators described Shaheen, arrested in Faridabad, as a key asset. Seized digital evidence, handwritten diaries and planning notes – now central to the case – describe a plan for a Dec 6 strike aimed at “avenging” the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition. The papers outline “D-6 Mission”, target lists, recruitment pitches, fund movements and secure communication protocols. Investigators also identified roles assigned to Kashmiri doctors Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie and Umar Un Nabi, alongside Shaheen, who allegedly joined a deeper JeM-backed structure in 2021.The probe has allegedly uncovered an Rs 20-lakh hawala channel routed through a JeM handler for operational use by Umar, Muzammil and Shaheen – money suspected to have funded recruitment, safe houses, secure phones and reconnaissance.Agencies have begun an audit of Shaheen’s financial footprint, scrutinising every high-value transfer, cash withdrawal and unexplained deposit across her three Kanpur accounts, two Lucknow accounts and two Delhi accounts. The hunt: any tie to the foreign-funded module.Teams are also reconstructing Shaheen’s movements in Kanpur, especially at GSVM Medical College, where she worked until her unexplained disappearance. Officials are collecting entry logs, duty rosters, visitor lists and details of where she stayed between Jan and Oct 2025. Colleagues remembered a soft-spoken doctor from Lucknow who rarely took leave, brought her young child to duty because there was “no one at home”, and avoided speaking about her divorce. She lived in an L-Block campus residence, maintained cordial ties with women co-workers, and vanished in Dec 2013 after handing over HOD responsibilities, promising to return by Jan 4, 2014. She never did. For nearly a year, official letters went unanswered. In 2016, two staffers sent to her registered address found it incorrect. She was formally dismissed in 2021.Interrogations showed that in March 2022, the module travelled to Turkiye for a meeting with ISI handler Abu Ukasha, allegedly securing a “green signal” for the Dec 6 plan. The timeline under reconstruction spans 2010 ideological drift, 2015-16 induction into JeM circles, and structured planning from 2021 as part of a project backed by Pakistan-based handlers.A former GSVM staffer recalled her transformation beginning around 2010 after contact with an Indian-origin doctor abroad who shared ideological videos and literature. She soon adopted new attire, including a hijab, and repeatedly spoke of relocating overseas.According to officials, her ideological shift was unmistakable by 2021. When confronted by a relative about abandoning her marriage, job and family, she allegedly said: “I have lived enough for myself. Now, it’s time to repay the debt of my community.”About the AuthorPathikrit ChakrabortyWhen not covering crime, he reads fiction, roams around the dark alleys of the city in the dead of night.
