The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a massive 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 accused in connection with the deadly Red Fort area car bomb blast in Delhi that killed 11 people and injured several others last year.
The high-intensity explosion took place near the Red Fort area on November 10, 2025, when a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) detonated in the national capital, causing widespread panic and major property damage.
According to the NIA, all 10 accused named in the chargesheet were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The agency stated that the terror module was involved in a larger conspiracy aimed at destabilising India through violent extremist activities.
The chargesheet was filed before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House Courts under provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act, and Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
Among the accused named in the chargesheet is Dr Umer Un Nabi, a former assistant professor at Al-Falah University in Haryana, who was identified as the main perpetrator of the attack. However, charges against him have been proposed to be abated as he is deceased.
Investigators revealed that the accused had allegedly restructured the terror outfit in 2022 during a secret meeting in Srinagar under a plan called “Operation Heavenly Hind.” According to the NIA, the conspiracy aimed to overthrow the Indian government and establish Sharia rule through coordinated terror activities.
The probe agency also stated that the accused stockpiled arms and ammunition, manufactured explosives using commercially available chemicals, and experimented with drone-mounted and rocket-based IED systems.
The chargesheet revealed that the explosive used in the Red Fort blast was Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), a highly volatile explosive material often associated with major terror attacks globally. The NIA said the accused had secretly procured ingredients and conducted experiments to perfect the explosive mixture.
According to the agency, the investigation involved extensive forensic examination, DNA profiling, voice analysis, digital evidence tracking, and evidence collection across Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Delhi-NCR.
The 7,500-page document reportedly includes 588 witness statements, more than 395 documents, and over 200 seized material exhibits. So far, 11 people have been arrested in the case, while efforts are continuing to trace absconding suspects linked to the terror module.
