Delhi Red Fort Blast: Following the deadly Delhi Red Fort car blast on November 10, in which a slow-moving i20 car near Delhi's Red Fort exploded, killing 13 people, investigating agencies have uncovered shocking details. Police are now probing a terror module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, raising serious questions about the role of certain doctors.
The investigation revealed that Dr. Muzammil Shakeel, Omar Mohammed, and Shahid Saeed communicated in a highly specific manner. They maintained a shared email account and typed their plans in the draft box. Others would then log into the same account and read these drafts.
Terror Accused Doctors Used 'Dead Drop Email' Method
Technically, no email was sent, making it extremely difficult to trace digitally. This method, called a dead drop email, is commonly used by terrorist and espionage networks. In addition to email, secure and hard-to-trace apps like Threema (banned in India) and Telegram were also employed.
Through these platforms, the suspects kept their activities hidden and evaded surveillance. According to sources cited by NDTV, the driver of the i20 car that exploded was Umar Mohammad. The other two doctors, Muzammil and Saeed, were arrested just before the blast. The Jammu and Kashmir Police later exposed the entire module.
Entire Plan Was Being Made from the University Room
During raids, police also recovered approximately 3,000 kilograms of explosives, bomb-making materials, a rifle, and ammunition from their rented hideout near Delhi. Sources indicate that the men were planning the Delhi bombings from Muzammil's room at Al-Falah University.
Delhi Police has detained three people, including two doctors from Haryana's Al-Falah University, in connection with the blast near the Red Fort, even as two separate FIRs were registered against the institution over alleged irregularities flagged by the UGC and NAAC, officials said on Saturday.
The police also detained two doctors, Mohammad and Mustakim, from Al-Falah University, who were known to Dr. Umar Nabi, the driver of the Hyundai i20 car that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday.
Mohammad and Mustakim were allegedly in contact with Dr. Muzammil Ganaie, who has been arrested in connection with the probe into an alleged "white-collar terror module." Both were also close associates of Umar.
It has emerged that the members of the terror module had pooled around Rs 26 lakh to purchase explosive substances and spent Rs 3 lakh of it on NPK fertilizer, which is commonly used to make bombs.
The initial UAPA case has since been transferred to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), officials said. Investigators have also obtained CCTV footage from inside the Red Fort Metro station that captures the moments immediately before and after the explosion at the traffic signal outside.
The visuals show routine commuter activity when, abruptly, the station shakes violently at the exact moment the blast occurs. Objects rattle, and passengers are visibly jolted as the tremor passes through the concourse.
The detentions and fresh criminal cases come amid an escalating multi-agency probe into the Red Fort blast, which claimed 13 lives, and the activities of individuals linked to the university.
