New Delhi, May 14 : The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday filed a 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 accused in connection with the deadly car bomb explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort that killed 11 people and injured several others.
According to the agency, the incident took place on November 10, 2025, when a high-intensity Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) exploded, causing fatalities as well as extensive damage to public property and infrastructure.
The chargesheet was submitted before the Special NIA Court at Patiala House Courts, New Delhi. The accused have been booked under multiple provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act, and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
The NIA stated that the accused were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an affiliate of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), designated as a terrorist organisation by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2018.
Those named in the chargesheet include Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather, Dr. Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Soyab, Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla and Yasir Ahmad Dar. Proceedings against alleged mastermind Dr. Umer Un Nabi, who died in the blast, have been proposed for abatement.
The agency said Dr. Umer, a former Assistant Professor at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, was identified through DNA analysis.
Investigators claimed the probe revealed a wider terror conspiracy spanning Jammu & Kashmir, Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. The chargesheet includes 588 witness statements, around 400 documents and over 200 seized exhibits.
According to the NIA, several accused—including some medical professionals—were allegedly radicalised and influenced by extremist ideology linked to AQIS and AGuH. The group allegedly regrouped under the name “AGuH Interim” after a failed attempt to reach Afghanistan via Turkey.
They also allegedly launched “Operation Heavenly Hind,” aimed at targeting security establishments and destabilising the country.
The NIA further alleged that the accused recruited members, circulated extremist propaganda, and stockpiled weapons and explosives while manufacturing Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) using commercially available chemicals.
The explosive used in the blast was identified as Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), allegedly prepared during clandestine experiments.
Officials also said illegal arms including AK-47 rifles, Krinkov rifles and pistols were procured, and that the group was experimenting with drone- and rocket-based IEDs targeting security installations.
Investigators added that the network had sourced laboratory equipment and explosive components through online and offline channels, and planned to expand operations across India before being disrupted by coordinated NIA raids and arrests.
So far, 11 accused have been arrested, while efforts are ongoing to trace absconding suspects linked to the conspiracy.
