The recent Delhi car blast is now understood to be an accidental detonation, stemming from terrorist panic after their network was exposed and key operatives were apprehended. Investigations have uncovered a broader, more sinister plot that targeted not only the capital but also deeply revered religious sites. Security agencies revealed that the terrorists had specifically aimed for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. In New Delhi, their intended targets included vital installations like the Sena Bhavan, the Air Force office, the BJP office, and the vicinity of Parliament House.
Over 1500 individuals have been detained in connection with the ongoing Delhi terror blast investigation. Findings suggest the suicide bomber, Dr. Umar, was ill-equipped for a major detonation, implying the Red Fort explosion was a critical error. The investigation has also brought to light the extensive stockpiling of ammonium nitrate over two years, with the explosives used in the Delhi blast being assembled just 30 days prior.
Communications intercepted from arrested individuals have provided crucial insights. Doctor Shaheen, one of those detained, used coded language in her chats, referring to a ‘blast’ as ‘Dawat’ and ‘explosives’ as ‘Biryani’. A recovered message, ‘Dawat ke liye biryanai taiyar hai,’ highlights this covert communication.
A specialized investigation team has been formed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to thoroughly examine this Jaish-e-Mohammad-linked terrorist plot. The probe has been connected to an FIR filed in Srinagar following the discovery of objectionable posters. The NIA is actively investigating the roles of several arrested individuals from Shopian, Ganderbal, and Saharanpur, including Maulvi Irfan Ahmad Waghay, Zamir Ahmad, and Dr. Adeel. Significant seizures of weapons and explosives, amounting to approximately 3,000 kilograms, have been made from various locations, including Al-Falah Medical College and residences in Faridabad, indicating a substantial recovered terror cache.
