Srinagar, May 14: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday said it has filed a 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 accused persons in connection with the Red Fort area car bomb explosion case, which left 11 people dead and several others injured in New Delhi on November 10, 2025.
According to an NIA statement, the high-intensity Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) blast had also caused extensive damage to property in the national capital.
The agency said all 10 accused, including the main perpetrator Dr. Umer Un Nabi (deceased), were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The chargesheet was filed before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House Courts, New Delhi.
The accused named in the chargesheet include Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather, Dr. Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Soyab, Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla and Yasir Ahmad Dar.
NIA said the chargesheet has been filed under relevant sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act, and Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
The investigation, spread across Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi-NCR, included 588 oral testimonies, over 395 documents and more than 200 seized material exhibits.
According to the agency, the accused, including some radicalised medical professionals, were inspired by AQIS/AGuH ideology and had allegedly reconstituted the terror outfit as “AGuH Interim” during a clandestine meeting in Srinagar in 2022 after a failed attempt to reach Afghanistan via Turkey.
NIA alleged that under the banner of “Operation Heavenly Hind,” the accused planned to overthrow the democratically elected Indian government and impose Sharia rule.
The probe further revealed that the accused had stockpiled arms and ammunition, manufactured explosives using commercially available chemicals, and tested various Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The explosive used in the blast was identified as Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), which was allegedly manufactured by the accused through clandestine procurement of ingredients.
The agency said forensic investigations, DNA fingerprinting, voice analysis and evidence gathered from multiple locations in Jammu & Kashmir and Haryana helped establish the identity and involvement of the accused.
NIA further stated that the accused had allegedly procured prohibited weapons, including AK-47 rifles, Krinkov rifles and country-made pistols, and had experimented with drone-mounted and rocket-based IEDs targeting security establishments in Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of the country.
A total of 11 persons have been arrested in the case so far, while efforts are underway to trace absconders whose role surfaced during the investigation.
