Jammu/New Delhi May 14, 2026: The National Investigation Agency on Thursday filed a massive 7,500-page chargesheet against 10 accused persons in connection with the November 10, 2025 car bomb explosion near the Red Fort area of New Delhi, which had left 11 persons dead and several others injured.
The high-intensity Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) blast had also caused extensive damage to surrounding property and triggered a nationwide security alert.
According to the chargesheet filed before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House Courts, all the accused were allegedly linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent. The organisation had been declared a terrorist outfit by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs in June 2018.
The accused named in the chargesheet include deceased alleged mastermind Dr. Umer Un Nabi, a former Assistant Professor of Medicine at Al-Falah University, along with 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.
NIA said the investigation uncovered a “major Jehadi conspiracy” allegedly aimed at overthrowing the democratically elected Indian government and imposing Sharia rule under a terror plan codenamed “Operation Heavenly Hind.”
The probe revealed that the accused had allegedly regrouped in Srinagar in 2022 under the banner “AGuH Interim” after a failed attempt to travel to Afghanistan through Turkey. The agency claimed the group subsequently recruited new members, propagated extremist ideology, stockpiled arms and ammunition, and manufactured Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) using commercially available chemicals.
Investigators said the explosive used in the blast was Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), allegedly prepared by the accused after conducting repeated experiments to perfect the mixture.
The agency further claimed that the accused had procured prohibited weapons, including AK-47 rifles, Krinkov rifles, country-made pistols, and live ammunition, besides experimenting with rocket and drone-mounted IEDs intended to target security establishments in Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of the country.
According to NIA, scientific and forensic evidence played a key role in the case, including DNA fingerprinting used to identify deceased accused Dr. Umer Un Nabi. The investigation involved evidence collection from multiple locations in Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and the Delhi-NCR region.
The chargesheet reportedly contains 588 oral testimonies, over 395 documents and more than 200 material exhibits.
A total of 11 persons have so far been arrested in the case, while efforts are continuing to trace other absconders allegedly linked to the terror conspiracy.
