NIA Files 7,500-Page Chargesheet Against 10 in Red Fort Car Bomb Blast Case

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 accused in connection with the November 10, 2025, car bomb blast near Delhi's Red Fort that killed 11 people and injured several others. The accused, including the deceased main perpetrator Dr. Umer Un Nabi, were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), designated a terrorist organisation by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2018. The chargesheet details a conspiracy involving radicalised medical professionals who planned 'Operation Heavenly Hind' to target security establishments. Investigations spanned multiple states and included extensive evidence such as testimonies, documents, and seized materials. Charges have been filed under various laws including the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Explosive Substances Act.
