NIA arrests 2 more individuals linked to conspiracy behind Delhi’s Red Fort bomb blast

The National Investigation Agency, NIA, has arrested two more individuals allegedly linked to the conspiracy behind the bomb blast in Delhi’s Red Fort area, pushing the total number of arrests in the case to eleven. The arrested persons have been identified as Zameer Ahmad Ahangar, a resident of Ganderbal, Jammu and Kashmir, and Tufail Ahmad Bhat, a resident of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.

According to the NIA, both were actively involved in the plot and had supplied weapons to the prime accused in the blast case. The explosion, which occurred on November 10, 2025, claimed eleven lives and left several people injured. The prime accused, Umer Un Nabi, was also killed in the blast. The NIA is probing the case under FIR to fully uncover the conspiracy.

Working in close coordination with the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Haryana Police, and other security agencies, the NIA found that the duo played a role not only in the Delhi blast conspiracy but also in other terror-related activities. The agency has determined that the blast conspiracy was orchestrated by Umer Un Nabi in collaboration with other accused persons, including Muzammil Ganai, Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan, Adeel Ahmed Rather, and five others who provided shelter and logistical assistance to the main conspirators.
