New Delhi [India], May 14 (ANI): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday filed a 7,500-page chargesheet before a special court in New Delhi in connection with the deadly car explosion near the Red Fort.
The agency named 10 individuals for their alleged involvement in the November 10, 2025, attack in which 11 people were killed and several others injured.
The high-intensity Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) blast that rocked the national capital on November 10, 2025, also caused extensive property damage.
According to the NIA, all 10 accused, including the main perpetrator, Umer Un Nabi, who is deceased, were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), as stated in the charges filed before the NIA special court at Patiala House Courts in New Delhi.
AQIS and all its manifestations were designated as terrorist organizations by the Ministry of Home Affairs in June 2018.
An NIA press release stated that the chargesheet was filed under relevant sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967; the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; the Explosive Substances Act, 1908; the Arms Act, 1959; and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984.
Charges against Pulwama-based Umer Un Nabi, a former assistant professor of medicine at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, have been proposed to be abated due to his death.
Apart from Nabi, those named in the chargesheet are 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.
The chargesheet is based on an extensive investigation spanning Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and the Delhi-NCR region.
According to the NIA, the case includes 588 oral testimonies, more than 395 documents, and over 200 seized material exhibits.
The agency said its investigation uncovered a major jihadi conspiracy through detailed scientific and forensic analysis. The accused, some of whom were radicalized medical professionals, were allegedly inspired by AQIS/AGuH ideology to carry out the attack.
At a clandestine meeting in Srinagar in 2022, the accused allegedly reconstituted the AGuH terror outfit as “AGuH Interim” following a failed attempt to travel to Afghanistan through Turkey.
Under the banner of the newly formed group, they allegedly launched “Operation Heavenly Hind,” aimed at overthrowing the democratically elected Indian government and imposing Sharia rule.
The NIA investigation revealed that, as part of the operation, the accused recruited new members, propagated violent jihadi ideology, stockpiled arms and ammunition, and manufactured explosives using commercially available chemicals.
Investigators also found that the accused fabricated and tested various types of improvised explosive devices.
According to the NIA, the explosive used in the blast was Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), which was allegedly manufactured by the accused after clandestinely procuring ingredients and conducting repeated experiments to perfect the mixture.
The NIA, which took over the investigation from Delhi Police, established the identity of the deceased accused Umer Un Nabi through DNA fingerprinting.
Evidence collected from the crime scene and multiple locations identified by the accused in and around Al-Falah University in Faridabad, as well as in Jammu and Kashmir, underwent forensic examination and voice analysis.
The probe also revealed that the accused were allegedly involved in the illegal procurement of prohibited arms, including an AK-47 rifle, a Krinkov rifle, and country-made pistols with live ammunition.
According to investigators, the accused also experimented with rocket- and drone-mounted IEDs intended to target security establishments in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of India.
The investigation further revealed that the accused procured laboratory equipment, including specialized items such as MMO anodes, electric circuits, and switches, through online and offline sources.
The accused had also allegedly planned to expand their operations to other parts of the country, plans that were foiled after the terror module was busted.
A total of 11 people have been arrested so far in the case. The NIA said efforts are continuing to trace absconders whose roles emerged during the investigation. (ANI)
