Delhi car blast case: NIA conducts raids across Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) launched multiple raids across Jammu and Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh as part of its probe into the November 10 Delhi car blast incident that killed 15 people and injured several others. Searches are ongoing at residential premises linked to the accused in Pulwama and Shopian districts of J&K, as well as in Lucknow, officials said.

Recent Arrests and Key Developments

The raids follow the arrest of the seventh accused, Soyab of Dhauj, Faridabad, who allegedly sheltered the bomber, Umar Un Nabi and provided logistical support ahead of the attack. 

Earlier, the NIA had arrested Shaheen Saeed, Dr. Muzammil Shakeel Ganai (Pulwama), Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather (Anantnag), and Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay (Shopian). Two other accused, Amir Rashid Ali, in whose name the blast vehicle was registered, and Jasir Bilal Wani alias Danish, who aided the bomber technically, were also taken into custody.

Shaheen was brought to Faridabad to recreate the terror plot, following the seizure of nearly 2,900 kg of explosives and tracing of the Hyundai i20 used in the attack to a local dealer. 

The NIA has so far examined 73 witnesses and forensically confirmed the deceased driver of the vehicle-borne IED as Umar Un Nabi, a Pulwama resident and assistant professor at Al Falah University, Faridabad.

Ongoing Investigation and Coordination

Working closely with Delhi, J&K, Haryana, and UP police, the NIA continues to track leads to identify additional suspects and dismantle the terrorist network behind the attack. Seized vehicles and recovered evidence are being analyzed to strengthen the case as the anti-terror agency seeks to hold all conspirators accountable.

The investigation underscores a nationwide collaborative effort to expose and neutralise the operational network responsible for the deadly blast.
