NIA Chargesheet Names Umar Un Nabi as Mastermind in 2025 Red Fort Blast
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet naming 13 accused in the November 2025 Red Fort blast, identifying Dr. Umar Un Nabi as the alleged mastermind and suicide bomber. The blast involved a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) detonated by Nabi inside a Hyundai i20. The investigation revealed a nearly three-year conspiracy linked to the Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind terror module, with extremist literature, drone and IED tests, and use of encrypted communications. Forensic evidence confirmed Nabi's presence in the vehicle and detailed bomb-making materials and command mechanisms used in the attack.
