10/11 Delhi Blast: Vehicle Owner Connected to Faridabad Terror Module, Say Officials
Delhi 10/11 Blast: Car Owner Linked to Faridabad Terror Network, Confirms Sources New Delhi, November 11: In a major development following the Delhi 10/11 blast near the Red Fort that killed nine people, investigators have found a crucial link between the explosion and the recently busted Faridabad terror network. According to top sources, the car in which the blast occurred was owned by Dr. Umar Mohammad, a resident of Pulwama in South Kashmir, who was allegedly part of the so-called “white-collar terror module.”
Terror Angle Confirmed in Delhi Blast
Authorities have now officially classified the Delhi blast as a terror attack. The Delhi Police have invoked sections 16 and 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), related to acts of terrorism, along with sections 3 and 4 of the Explosive Substances Act, and charges of murder and attempt to murder.
Preliminary reports suggest that Dr. Umar triggered the explosion near the Red Fort after learning that two key associates — Dr. Mujammil Shakeel and Dr. Adil Rather — had been arrested by investigators. Over 2,900 kg of suspected explosives were seized from locations linked to the Faridabad module.
Explosives and Target Area
Officials suspect that ammonium nitrate — a commonly available fertilizer that can be converted into explosive material — was used in the Delhi 10/11 blast. The car, a slow-moving vehicle that halted at a red light, exploded suddenly, damaging nearby vehicles and injuring several bystanders.
“A slow-moving vehicle stopped at a red light; an explosion occurred, damaging nearby vehicles,” said Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha.
The site of the blast, close to Red Fort and Chandni Chowk, is one of the busiest areas in central Delhi. Eyewitness videos show burnt cars, shattered glass, and debris scattered across the road. At least six cars and multiple rickshaws caught fire in the aftermath.
Widespread Multi-Agency Probe
A large-scale probe has been launched, involving the Delhi Police, J&K Police, NIA, NSG, IB, UP ATS, Haryana Police, Gujarat Police, and forensic teams. The J&K Police have detained one suspect, Tariq, in Pulwama. Early interrogation reveals that the blast vehicle changed multiple hands — first sold to Aamir, then to Tariq, and finally to Umar, who allegedly orchestrated the explosion.
Investigations also suggest that the Jaish-e-Muhammad module had been under police surveillance for nearly a month. The Delhi blast is believed to be part of their broader plan to target high-traffic zones in the national capital.
White-Collar Terror Module Uncovered
The white-collar terror network, composed of educated professionals, was unearthed after joint raids across Jammu & Kashmir (Srinagar, Anantnag, Ganderbal, Shopian) and Haryana’s Faridabad.
During searches, authorities recovered 350 kg of explosives, 20 detonators, assault rifles, handguns, and ammunition from one location in Dhoj. Another site, four kilometres away in Fatehpur Taga village, yielded 2,563 kg of suspected bomb-making material.
Both locations were reportedly rented by Dr. Mujammil Shakeel, a central figure in the module. Investigators believe these “white-collar” members received funding and instructions from handlers based in Pakistan, operating under a new covert structure to evade detection.
Nation on High Alert
Home Minister Amit Shah, addressing the situation late Monday night, said:
“No angle is being ruled out. All possibilities — including cross-border terror links — are under active examination.”
Security across Delhi has been tightened, with police checking vehicles and intensifying patrols around key landmarks and crowded markets.
Key Points:
Delhi 10/11 Blast confirmed as a terror attack.
Car owner, Dr. Umar Mohammad from Pulwama, linked to Faridabad module.
Over 2,900 kg of suspected explosives seized.
Multi-agency probe underway; Jaish-e-Muhammad link suspected.
Home Minister says no angle ruled out as Delhi remains on high alert.
Red Fort Blast: CCTV Captures Suspect Moments Before Car Explosion
A powerful explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort on Monday evening claimed nine lives and left over 20 people injured, sending shockwaves across the national capital. The blast, caused by a white Hyundai i20, ignited several nearby vehicles and triggered chaos in one of the city’s busiest zones.
Fresh CCTV footage has now emerged, offering the first visuals of the suspected bomber. The car, bearing registration number HR 26 CE 7674, was seen entering a nearby parking area and remained there for nearly two hours before it exploded.
Investigators believe that the vehicle was driven by Umar, a key suspect in a related explosives case currently being probed in Faridabad. Sources say Umar, who has been absconding, may have activated the detonation device remotely or from inside the car.
The CCTV footage shows the suspect driving with one hand resting casually on the window, while another frame captures him wearing a blue-and-black T-shirt. Security agencies are now analyzing these visuals to trace his movement before and after the blast.
Senior officials have confirmed that the Delhi Police Special Cell, along with the NIA, NSG, and Intelligence Bureau, are jointly investigating the incident. Preliminary leads suggest possible links to a foiled terror module uncovered in Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir earlier this week.
The blast site, located just minutes away from Red Fort and Chandni Chowk, remains cordoned off as forensic experts comb through debris for chemical traces. Authorities suspect the use of ammonium nitrate or a similar high-intensity explosive.
Security across Delhi and neighboring states has been tightened following the attack. Additional checkpoints and anti-sabotage teams have been deployed at railway stations, airports, and crowded marketplaces.
Key Developments:
CCTV footage shows suspect driving white Hyundai i20 before explosion.
Vehicle linked to Faridabad explosives case, suspect identified as Umar.
Nine dead, 20+ injured near Red Fort; terror angle under investigation.
National security agencies on high alert across major cities.

The powerful explosion occurred at 6:52 PM on Subhash Marg, near the Red Fort Metro Station, during the busy evening rush hour. The blast, which originated from a white Hyundai i20, triggered a chain reaction that set multiple vehicles ablaze and sent shockwaves through the densely packed Old Delhi area.
According to initial reports, five to six cars, four motorcycles, and three e-rickshaws caught fire following the detonation. Eyewitness videos from the scene showed flames engulfing vehicles, thick plumes of smoke rising into the sky, and bodies and debris scattered across the roadway.
Residents described the explosion as “deafening,” with the shockwave powerful enough to shatter windows in homes near Sis Ganj Gurdwara, located nearly 500 metres away. The sudden blast sent hundreds of commuters running for safety, as police and fire units rushed to the site to control the inferno.
Eyewitnesses described the Red Fort blast scene as chaotic, with the area packed with evening commuters. “The casualties were high because the road has bumper-to-bumper traffic at that hour,” said a senior police officer, referring to the stretch between Delhi Gate and Kashmere Gate, which lies close to Jama Masjid and the Old Delhi Railway Station — one of the busiest corridors in the capital.
The Delhi Police, along with teams from the Special Cell, National Investigation Agency (NIA), and the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), reached the site within minutes of the explosion. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that additional units from the Crime Branch and Special Branch were deployed and arrived at the scene within 10 minutes of the blast.
“I have spoken to the Delhi Police Commissioner and the Special Branch in charge. We are exploring all possibilities and will conduct a thorough investigation,” Shah stated, assuring that no angle — including terror involvement — will be overlooked.
Police Commissioner Satish Golcha confirmed that the blast occurred when the slow-moving Hyundai i20 stopped at a traffic signal. “Nearby vehicles were damaged. Some people have died and others have been injured. All investigating agencies are present at the site,” he said.
A case has been registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Explosives Act, and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Kotwali Police Station. Investigators are now examining over 100 CCTV clips, including footage from nearby toll plazas, to track the route of the car as it moved toward Daryaganj shortly before the explosion.
According to initial findings, the Hyundai i20 was originally registered to a Gurgaon resident named Salman, who later sold the vehicle to a man identified as Tariq from Pulwama. Authorities suspect that the car may have subsequently changed hands again before reaching Umar, the absconding suspect believed to be behind the blast.
Officials are also investigating possible links between the Red Fort explosion and the foiled terror plot in Faridabad earlier the same day, where police seized a large cache of explosives and detained several suspects connected to a white-collar terror module.
Fire department officials said they received the first SOS call at 6:55 PM, just minutes after the explosion. Seven fire tenders were immediately dispatched to the site, where massive flames and thick black smoke engulfed multiple vehicles. The fire was brought under control after a two-hour-long operation, officials confirmed.
If confirmed as a terror-related attack, this would mark Delhi’s first major bombing since the 2011 High Court blast, which had similarly shaken the national capital.
First Picture Out: Red Fort Blast Accused Dr. Umar Identified as Member of Faridabad Module
First Image of Red Fort Blast Suspect Dr. Mohammad Umar Emerges; Linked to Faridabad Terror Module New Delhi — The first image of Mohammad Umar, the prime suspect in the Red Fort blast case, has surfaced. Umar, a suspected terrorist from the Faridabad terror module, was reportedly employed as a doctor at Al Falah Medical College in Faridabad.
According to sources, Umar is a close associate of Adeel Ahmad Rather, a former senior resident doctor at the Government Medical College (GMC) in Anantnag, who was arrested last week. Acting on Rather’s interrogation, authorities carried out multiple raids in Faridabad on Monday, uncovering critical leads connected to the Delhi explosion.
CCTV footage obtained by investigators shows Umar driving the white Hyundai i20 that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday evening, killing nine people and injuring at least 20 others. The footage, captured just before the 6:52 pm blast, shows the vehicle parked near Sunehri Masjid for nearly three hours before the explosion.
Sources revealed that Umar, along with two accomplices, orchestrated the attack in haste after several members of their network were detained earlier that day in Faridabad. The trio allegedly planted a detonator inside the car and triggered the blast during peak rush hour.
Investigators have confirmed that the explosive material used in the blast was Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO), a high-intensity compound capable of causing massive destruction. The explosion, which occurred at one of Delhi’s busiest tourist corridors, sparked panic and chaos as flames engulfed nearby vehicles.
Security agencies, including the NIA and Delhi Police’s Special Cell, are now tracing Umar’s movements and examining his network’s link to a broader terror conspiracy spanning the National Capital Region.
CCTV Footage Reveals Timeline of Red Fort Blast Vehicle; Police Trace Route, 13 Detained
New Delhi — Investigators have pieced together a detailed timeline of the events leading up to Monday evening’s deadly explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort, which claimed nine lives and injured over 20.
According to CCTV footage, the white Hyundai i20 entered a parking lot near Sunehri Masjid at 3:19 pm and exited at 6:48 pm, moments before the blast occurred. The explosion took place shortly after the vehicle re-entered traffic near the Subhash Marg signal.
The initial footage clearly shows the driver’s face, but later frames reveal a masked man behind the wheel, raising questions about a possible switch of drivers. Another video shows the vehicle entering and leaving the parking area multiple times, suggesting deliberate movement to avoid suspicion.
Delhi Police sources confirmed that the suspect was alone in the car at the time of the explosion. Investigators are now tracing the vehicle’s complete route toward Daryaganj, examining over 100 CCTV clips, including those from nearby toll plazas and the Badarpur border, where the car was last spotted entering the city.
Meanwhile, at least 13 suspects are being interrogated by Delhi Police and central agencies in connection with the blast.
Vehicle Ownership Trail
Intelligence inputs from Jammu and Kashmir indicate that the Hyundai i20 was initially registered under Mohammad Salman, who was arrested on Monday night. The car reportedly changed ownership multiple times — first sold to Nadeem, then to Royal Car Zone, a used car dealership in Faridabad Sector 37.
However, when investigators attempted to contact individuals associated with the dealership, all listed mobile numbers were found to be switched off. The vehicle was later purchased by Aamir, then Tariq, who is believed to be a member of the Faridabad terror module, and finally by Dr. Mohammad Umar, the primary suspect in the Red Fort blast.
Authorities are now working to verify the vehicle’s transfer documents and identify possible intermediaries involved in the transactions.
Following the arrest of Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, from whom authorities recovered 2,900 kg of IED-making material, the investigation into the Red Fort blast has widened significantly. Police sources confirmed that Tariq, in whose name the blast vehicle was registered, has also been detained, along with another suspect named Aamir. Both are currently being interrogated by central and local agencies.
Investigators believe the sequence of events is interconnected — suggesting that Mohammad Umar, the suspected mastermind and driver of the Hyundai i20, panicked after Muzamil’s arrest and went ahead with the attack near Red Fort, potentially as a fidayeen (suicide) strike.
Records show that the same car had been challaned for illegal parking in Faridabad on September 20. The registration certificate remains under Mohammad Salman’s name, with no official ownership transfer documented. Police are now tracing the vehicle’s sale trail to establish whether Tariq still possessed it or had sold it further.
Forensic experts are set to conduct DNA testing on remains found at the blast site to confirm whether Umar was indeed driving the vehicle during the explosion.
Explosives Under the Scanner
Sources within the Delhi Police Special Cell confirmed that the force has sought detailed information from the Faridabad Crime Branch and Jammu & Kashmir Police regarding the explosives seized earlier in the week.
Preliminary forensic analysis indicates the presence of ammonium nitrate at the blast site, though a comprehensive forensic report is expected later today to confirm the exact nature of the material used.
Investigators suspect that Dr. Muzamil Shakeel was supported by a Faridabad-based sleeper cell, which helped him procure and transport the massive quantity of explosives. Multiple agencies, including the NIA and Special Cell, are jointly interrogating Shakeel to identify other operatives involved. Based on new leads, fresh raids are planned in Faridabad, where J&K Police teams are already stationed for follow-up action.
Victims Yet to Be Identified
Authorities confirmed that out of the nine bodies recovered from the explosion site, only two male victims have been identified so far. Several others remain unrecognizable due to the intensity of the blast.
An additional body part was also recovered, complicating the identification process. Forensic experts will rely on DNA profiling and post-mortem analyses to confirm the victims’ identities.
Legal Action and Security Measures
The Delhi Police have invoked Sections 16 and 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) — pertaining to acts of terrorism and conspiracy — along with Sections 3 and 4 of the Explosive Substances Act, and charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for murder and attempt to murder.
Eyewitnesses described the blast as deafening, with the explosion’s shockwave audible up to ITO, nearly 2 km away. The impact shattered vehicle windows and glass panels at the Red Fort Metro Station, while flames engulfed multiple nearby vehicles.
In the wake of the explosion, authorities have shut down Chandni Chowk Market for Tuesday as a precaution. A high alert has been issued across Delhi, with intensified checking at border points, and security deployment reinforced at major landmarks and transit hubs.
