NIA Files 7,500-Page Chargesheet in Red Fort Car Blast Case, Names 10 Accused Linked to AGuH Module

The high-intensity explosion, which occurred on November 10, 2025, involved a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device that killed 11 people, injured several others, and caused extensive damage to property.

According to the agency, the detailed chargesheet is supported by 588 oral testimonies, 395 documentary records, and more than 200 material exhibits. The investigation outlines how the accused allegedly procured specialized laboratory equipment, including MMO anodes and electronic circuits, sourced from both online and offline channels for the preparation of explosives.

The deceased alleged mastermind, Dr Umer Un Nabi, a former Assistant Professor of Medicine at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, has been identified through DNA fingerprinting. As he is confirmed deceased, the charges against him are proposed to be abated, while legal proceedings will continue against the remaining accused.

The other individuals named in the chargesheet are 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.

The investigation, which spanned Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and the National Capital Region, has revealed what officials describe as a coordinated conspiracy involving radicalised medical professionals. The accused reportedly met in Srinagar in 2022, where they formed “AGuH Interim” after an unsuccessful attempt to travel to Afghanistan via Turkey.

Under this formation, they allegedly initiated “Operation Heavenly Hind,” a plan aimed at overthrowing the government of India to establish rule under Sharia law.

The agency further stated that the group manufactured triacetone triperoxide explosives using commercially available chemicals and conducted multiple experiments to refine the explosive mixture. Evidence also indicates experimentation with advanced weapon systems, including rocket and drone-mounted improvised explosive devices intended for attacks on security installations across the country.

In addition, the investigation revealed illegal stockpiling of prohibited weapons, including AK-47 and Krinkov rifles. Searches conducted at Al-Falah University and multiple locations across Jammu and Kashmir yielded forensic material and voice analysis reports that strengthened the case.

In connection with case RC-21/2025/NIA/DLI, 11 individuals have already been arrested. The National Investigation Agency confirmed that efforts are ongoing to locate remaining absconding accused persons. The accused face charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act, and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.

The filing of the extensive chargesheet marks a significant advancement in one of the most complex terror investigations in recent years, underscoring the scale, coordination, and technical sophistication attributed to the alleged conspiracy.
