The National Investigation Agency (NIA) submitted a 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 individuals linked to the fatal car bomb explosion near the Red Fort area in Delhi. The blast, caused by a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) on November 10, 2025, resulted in the deaths of 11 people and inflicted significant damage to nearby property, prompting a nationwide security alert. The accused, associated with Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), were named in the chargesheet, including the alleged mastermind Dr Umer Un Nabi, who died in the explosion.
The chargesheet, filed under various acts including the UA(P) Act 1967 and Explosive Substances Act 1908, implicated individuals such as Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, and others in the case. The investigation spanned multiple states like Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, and Maharashtra, involving 588 witness statements and over 395 documentary records. The accused, allegedly radicalized by extremist ideologies, were reportedly part of a larger conspiracy to carry out terror activities in India, as per NIA findings.
The probe unveiled that the accused regrouped in 2022 after a failed attempt to migrate to Afghanistan, forming the “AGuH Interim” network during a secret meeting in Srinagar. Under the conspiracy named “Operation Heavenly Hind,” they aimed to establish Sharia-based rule by overthrowing the democratically elected government in India. The group, including medical professionals, allegedly recruited new members, propagated extremist content, and amassed weapons and explosive materials for their activities.
