Pulwama Doctor Dr Umar Named in Delhi Red Fort Blast Investigation
Dr Umar Nabi, a doctor from Pulwama with a strong academic background, is a key suspect in the Delhi Red Fort blast case that killed 12-13 people. Police have seized electronic devices from his and his fiancée’s homes. His family denies involvement, describing him as introverted and devoted to studies and family. Investigations reveal he was the driver of the exploded car and had been under surveillance, with links to another suspect, Dr Muzammil.
Dr Umar Nabi, hailing from Koil village in Pulwama with a notable academic record, has been identified by police as the driver and suspected perpetrator in the November 10 Delhi Red Fort car blast that resulted in multiple casualties. Authorities seized all electronic devices from his residence and that of his fiancée to aid the probe. His family and sister-in-law vehemently reject the allegations, describing him as a quiet, family-oriented individual, deeply attached to his children and fiancée, with no history of violent behavior. Investigations revealed Umar drove the Hyundai i20 that exploded near the Red Fort, and he had been absent from home for two months prior to the incident. He is linked to Dr Muzammil, another accused, suggesting a coordinated operation. Police are collecting DNA samples to confirm Umar’s death in the blast. The probe traces Umar’s last movements across Delhi and highlights his termination from a medical college for negligence, adding complexity to his profile. Authorities are assembling a timeline tying the explosion to larger terror strikes planned around major events like Republic Day and Diwali. This incident has deeply shocked both the local community in Pulwama and the nation as investigations continue.
