NEW DELHI: National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday filed a massive 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 individuals linked to the Red Fort car bomb explosion. The high-intensity blast, which occurred on November 10, 2025, involved a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) that claimed 11 lives, injured numerous others, and caused widespread property damage.Filed before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House, the document names 10 accused associated with Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The chargesheet, supported by 588 oral testimonies, 395 documents, and over 200 material exhibits, details how the group procured specialized laboratory equipment like MMO anodes and electronic circuits from both online and offline sources. Among those charged is the alleged mastermind, Dr Umer Un Nabi, a former Assistant Professor of Medicine at Al-Falah University in Faridabad. While Nabi is now deceased — his identity confirmed through DNA fingerprinting —charges against him are proposed to be abated, while proceedings continue against Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather, Dr. Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Soyab, Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla, and Yasir Ahmad Dar.The NIA’s exhaustive investigation, spanning Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Delhi NCR, paints a chilling picture of a conspiracy involving radicalized medical professionals. According to the agency, the accused met clandestinely in Srinagar in 2022 to form “AGuH Interim” after a failed attempt to migrate to Afghanistan via Turkey. Under this banner, they launched “Operation Heavenly Hind,” a plot aimed at overthrowing the Indian government to impose Sharia rule. The investigation revealed that the group manufactured Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP) explosives using commercially available chemicals and conducted experiments to perfect the mixture. Evidence suggests the module was also experimenting with advanced weaponry, including rocket and drone-mounted IEDs intended to target security establishments across India.Beyond explosives, the NIA found the accused had illegally stockpiled prohibited arms, including AK-47 and Krinkov rifles. Searches conducted at Al-Falah University and various locations in Jammu & Kashmir provided forensic and voice analysis data that solidified the case. While 11 persons have been arrested in connection with case RC-21/2025/NIA/DLI, the NIA confirmed that efforts are still underway to track remaining absconders. The accused face multiple charges under the UA(P) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Explosive Substances Act, the Arms Act, and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.About the AuthorRaj Shekhar JhaRaj Shekhar Jha is a journalist for the Times of India with over a decade of experience in reporting on national security, terrorism, crime and prisons.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIran Signals More Safe Passage For Indian Ships As BRICS Meet Faces West Asia DivideIndia-Bound 46,000 TONNES LPG Ship Cross Strait Of Hormuz, Two Ships In 48 Hours | WatchKabul Partners With Indian Company, Signs MN Deal To Upgrade Quality Control Across Trade RoutesVijay Targets NEET Again, Says Medical Admissions Should Depend On Class 12 MarksCongress Claims Assam FIR Row Is Linked To Questions Over Himanta Sarma Assets | WatchCBI Arrests Five In NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak Case As Probe Expands Nationwide | WatchEx-Army Chief Naravane Backs People-To-People Ties To Improve India Pak RelationsAir India Cuts 29 International Routes As West Asia War Drives Up Fuel Costs And DisruptionsVijay Reverses Astrologer Appointment; PM Modi Orders Nearly 50% Convoy | Headlines@9EPS Removes Rebel Leaders Backing Vijay Government As AIADMK Internal Crisis Deepens123Photostories5 smart ways to give children the freedom to make choices without losing controlSuccess quote of the day by R.
