The Delhi Red Fort blast investigation has confirmed that Faisal Iqbal, an operative linked to Pakistan’s ISI, orchestrated a strategic terror module active since 2019, culminating in attacks like the November 10, 2025 blast. Intelligence agencies identified three primary handlers—Faisal Iqbal, Ukasha, and Hashim—operating from abroad, specifically Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Tora Bora region, overseeing training, planning, and logistics. Locally, Mufti Irfan Ahmed Wagay from Jammu and Kashmir, affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammad, played a key role in radicalizing and facilitating the module’s operations within India. The module’s operations, including setting up Telegram channels and securing large quantities of ammonium nitrate, displayed sophistication akin to the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The discovery of substantial explosives in Faridabad and evidence of coordination across borders underscore the ISI’s institutional backing in escalating terrorism targeting India, highlighting severe geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan. Investigations continue into cross-border digital safehouses and local recruitment networks.
