Declaring a high alert in Delhi and many parts of India, the government has labelled the blast at Red Fort in Delhi on 10th November 2025 as a terror case to be handled by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

NIA has worked on anti-terror cases. The Delhi blast followed hours after Jammu and Kashmir Police recovered nearly 3,000 kg of explosives from Faridabad, adjoining Delhi. Nine people are confirmed dead and 20 injured in the blast in a Hyundai i20 car at 6.52 pm near the Red Fort Metro Station.

The Delhi Police have invoked UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) sections after forensic evidence and intelligence inputs pointed to possible terror links. NIA working with Delhi and Haryana state police arrested three more doctors from Faridabad's Al-Falah University.

Reports said one Dr Umar Mohammad, who owned the car, reportedly panicked and triggered the blast near the Red Fort after investigators arrested two key members of the module - Dr Mujammil Shakeel and Dr Adil Rather - and seized the explosives. Ammonium nitrate, which was found in Faridabad, was used in the blast, sources added.

The three arrested medical doctors are Muzammil Shakeel, Umar Mohammed, and Shaheen Shahid. Muzammil and Umar are from Kashmir, and Shaheen is from Lucknow, all working as senior doctors and at the Faridabad university-cum-hospital.

Explosives, assault rifles and ammunition were seized from two rooms Muzammil had rented in Faridabad away from the university campus where he stayed. The suspects were allegedly setting up the India branch of the Jaish-e-Mohammed women's wing, Jamaat ul-Mominaat. This wing is headed by Jaish founder Masood Azhar's sister, Sadia Azhar.
