Ninth accused in Red Fort blast case remanded to NIA custody until December 26.

A Delhi court on December 18, 2025, remanded Yasir Ahmad Dar, the ninth accused from Shopian, Jammu and Kashmir, to NIA custody until December 26 for interrogation in the Red Fort car bomb blast case. The blast occurred on November 10, 2025, near Delhi’s historic Red Fort, when suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi detonated explosives in a Hyundai i20, killing 15 people and injuring over 20 others using ammonium nitrate fuel oil. NIA investigations reveal Dar’s close ties to Umar and Mufti Irfan, including an oath for self-sacrificial attacks, alongside eight prior arrests like four doctors—Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganie, Dr Shaheen Saeed, Dr Bilal Nasir Malla, Dr Adeel Rather—and preacher Maulvi Irfan. India’s robust NIA probe, backed by multi-agency raids seizing digital evidence, reaffirms unwavering resolve against terror threats from radical networks.
