DNA links Dr. Umar Nabi to Red Fort blast as driver of explosives-laden vehicle.
The investigation into the Red Fort blast has confirmed that Dr. Umar Nabi was the driver of the explosives-laden vehicle that detonated on November 10, killing 12 people. DNA evidence linked him to remains retrieved from the blast site, showcasing a 100% match with samples from his family. Authorities revealed that Dr. Nabi had connections to a white-collar terror module involving several doctors, including Dr. Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, who was apprehended earlier for stockpiling explosives. As the National Investigation Agency (NIA) takes over the case, officials have established that Nabi was plotting a major attack timed for the Babri Masjid demolition anniversary on December 6, and his plans unraveled following a police crackdown on related activities. The investigation is now focusing on a broader extremist network exploiting professional institutions for recruitment and planning, raising alarming concerns over the potential for urban terrorism in India.
