Kashmiri doctor Mohammad Umar is suspected of driving the car that exploded near Delhi's Red Fort, killing at least nine people. The blast is linked to a terror module busted in Faridabad, with Umar allegedly panicking after police raids and triggering the explosion. Authorities are investigating his involvement and confirming his identity through DNA tests.
The Delhi Red Fort car explosion on November 10, 2025, which killed at least nine people, is being investigated as a terror attack. The main suspect is Mohammad Umar, a doctor from Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, who is believed to have driven the explosive-laden Hyundai i20 that detonated near the Red Fort. The attack is connected to a terror module recently dismantled in Faridabad, where several associates, including other doctors from Al-Falah University, were arrested. According to investigators, Umar panicked after police raids and triggered the blast prematurely. CCTV footage shows him waiting in the car for hours before the explosion. Authorities are conducting DNA tests to confirm his identity among the dead, and his family has been detained for sample collection. The probe also reveals that the terror module planned attacks on high-profile events, including Republic Day and Diwali, and was involved in smuggling ammonium nitrate and weapons. The investigation is ongoing, with multiple agencies involved and further arrests made in connection with the case.
