In a major development, India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) has made its first arrest in the Red Fort blast case: Amir Rashid Ali, identified as a close associate of the alleged suicide bomber, Dr. Umar Nabi. Investigators say Ali helped acquire the Hyundai i20 car that exploded near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10, acting as a key conspirator. Forensic analysis established that the vehicle was used as an improvised explosive device (IED), and the remains of the driver have been confirmed to be those of Dr. Nabi, a medical academic.

India’s national security apparatus intensified its investigation into the recent suicide blast in Delhi, detaining three doctors from Al-Falah University in connection with the case. Authorities are probing whether the suspects aided the attacker or had knowledge of extremist activities linked to the incident. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken charge, signaling the seriousness of the probe and the potential terror implications. Officials have begun examining communication trails, academic affiliations, and possible network links.

In a significant development, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two individuals in connection with the brutal Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 people dead and 16 severely injured. The accused—Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar, both residents of the Pahalgam region—are alleged to have provided shelter, food, and logistical support to three Pakistani nationals affiliated with the banned terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The attackers reportedly targeted tourists based on their religious identity, underscoring the sectarian nature of the massacre.

In a major breakthrough in India’s ongoing counterterrorism operations, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two key fugitives connected to a broader Islamic State (ISIS) sleeper cell operating out of Pune. The accused, apprehended at Mumbai International Airport after arriving from Jakarta, had been absconding for over two years in connection with a 2023 case involving the fabrication and testing of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
