Delhi blast case update

On 10 November 2025, the national capital of Delhi witnessed an explosion which killed 12 people. The explosion, which was near the Red Fort area, was reportedly part of a well-planned conspiracy to carry out “serial blasts” across multiple locations in four cities across India.

Dr Umar Nabi, the primary accused, along with his two accomplices, Dr Muzammil Shakeel, Dr Shaheen Shahid, and Dr Adeel, who have links to past terror cases, have been accused in the ongoing investigations.

According to a recent report, the preliminary findings revealed that suspects stockpiled 2,600 kg of NPK fertiliser and 1,000 kg of ammonium nitrate. These chemicals in these quantities are enough to make multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which can then be used to potentially target multiple cities across India.

A report from the news agency ANI highlighted that the investigative agencies have identified around 8 suspects who planned to carry out explosions at four locations.

“They had planned to move to four cities in groups of two each. Each group was supposed to carry multiple IEDs along with them,” according to the agency report citing people aware of the development.
