NIA Remands Four Suspects in Red Fort Bomb Probe

The National Investigation Agency has deepened its probe into the November 10 car bomb attack near Delhi's Red Fort, securing custody of four additional suspects linked to Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, as the Enforcement Directorate separately arrested the institution's founder on money laundering charges tied to the same terror investigation.

The blast, which authorities have classified as a terrorist incident, killed at least 15 people and injured several others when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near the Red Fort Metro Station. The NIA assumed control of the case from Delhi Police on November 11 and has since arrested 10 individuals overall, focusing on a network involving academics and medical professionals associated with Al Falah University. The suicide bomber, identified as Dr. Umar Nabi, an assistant professor at the university, drove the explosive-laden car, which had been parked on campus for nearly 20 days prior to the attack. Investigators recovered over 2,900 kilograms of ammonium nitrate and other chemicals from locations connected to the suspects, including a rented accommodation in Faridabad.
