New Delhi: Umer Un Nabi, who was killed in the November 2025 Red Fort
car blast, was the alleged mastermind and "operational in-charge" of a
revived Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH) terror module, the National
Investigation Agency, or NIA, has said in its chargesheet filed in
connection with the attack.

According to the anti-terror agency, the Hyundai i20 car used in the
blast was effectively a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device
(VBIED).

The blast occurred at around 6:50 pm near the Red Fort on November 10,
2025. Eleven people were killed and 29 others injured in the
explosion, which also caused extensive damage to surrounding property
and vehicles, according to the investigation.

According to the anti-terror agency NIA, the Hyundai i20 car used in
the blast was effectively a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device
(VBIED).

Umer un Nabi was a doctor at Faridabad's Al-Falah University.

The agency has alleged that Nabi, the doctor who worked at Faridabad's
Al-Falah University, and a co-accused, Jasir Bilal Wani, had procured
a second-hand car as part of the conspiracy.

Nabi was inside the vehicle when it exploded, the chargesheet states.
DNA examination of biological material recovered from the blast site
allegedly confirmed his identity.

The forensic investigation also found explosive residues, including
TATP and ammonium nitrate, on material recovered from the scene.

According to the NIA's case, the forensic evidence indicated that the
explosive device was initiated from inside the vehicle through a
command mechanism.

Jaseer Bilal Wani, the co-conspirator, had searched for methods to
construct a rocket using YouTube and ChatGPT, the chargesheet notes.

The chargesheet further says that Wani had been provided with two
drones that were given to him by Umar-un-Nabi.

The NIA has alleged that the attack was the culmination of a larger
conspiracy involving the revival of the AGuH module, radicalisation of
recruits and preparations for carrying out acts of terror.

The chargesheet alleges that Nabi, also known as Pinda and Rahul Bhat,
had been working since early 2022 to revive the dormant module and
build a network of radicalised persons for carrying out terrorist
activities against India.

According to NIA, Nabi was the "operational in-charge" of AGuH
Interim, described in the investigation as a revived manifestation of
Al-Qaida in the Indian Sub-continent.

The agency has alleged that he radicalised recruits, arranged
clandestine meetings, facilitated terror training and managed the
logistics required by the module.

The NIA has said that Nabi and other members of the module possessed
and circulated extremist literature advocating armed struggle and
violence. According to the agency, the literature sought to justify
violent extremism and portrayed armed struggle as a religious
obligation.

The material also allegedly contained instructions on operational
secrecy, concealment, the use of false identities and different forms
of terrorist attacks.

The accused persons, according to the chargesheet, remained in contact
through encrypted messaging applications, including Signal.

The chargesheet alleges that Nabi played a key role in arranging
funds, procuring illegal weapons and securing locations for members of
the module and materials allegedly connected with the conspiracy.

Meetings were allegedly held in Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi-NCR, where
members were trained and preparations were made for carrying out
terrorist activities.

As Nabi died in the explosion, the proceedings against him have been
abated. However, the chargesheet sets out the investigating agency's
allegations regarding his role in the alleged conspiracy. The
allegations in the chargesheet are subject to trial and judicial
scrutiny.
