Investigation Continues as Authorities Examine Terror Links

Delhi Police and Rapid Action Force (RAF) teams were deployed extensively around the court complex. Officers equipped with anti-riot gear stood prepared to handle any situation quickly. Authorities maintained a secure perimeter, coordinating closely with NIA personnel. They focused on preventing protests, public unrest, or any attempt to interfere with court proceedings.

The November 10 blast near the Red Fort killed thirteen people and injured several others. Investigators revealed that Umar Nabi, a doctor from Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir, was driving the explosive-laden vehicle. Authorities said Nabi had links to a “white-collar” terror module, which had been uncovered earlier with the recovery of explosives primarily from Faridabad, Haryana. The investigation is ongoing to identify additional suspects and connections.

Officials emphasized that NIA custody is crucial for interrogating Ali and gathering evidence against other conspirators. The agency continues to collect forensic and digital evidence to strengthen the case. Authorities have appealed to the public to remain calm and report suspicious activity. The Red Fort blast remains a critical national security concern, highlighting the need for vigilance and coordinated counter-terror measures.
