NIA Files 7,500-Page Chargesheet in Red Fort Car-Bomb Case Naming 10 Accused

Prosecutors say the dossier traces a wider AGuH–AQIS plot that built TATP bombs for further strikes.

Overview

  • The agency, which filed the case on Thursday, May 14, set out charges against 10 people linked to Ansar Ghazwat‑ul‑Hind, an Al‑Qaida offshoot, under UAPA, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Explosive Substances Act, the Arms Act and the public property law.
  • Investigators say the November 10, 2025 blast near Red Fort used a vehicle‑borne improvised explosive device that killed 11 people, injured others and damaged nearby buildings.
  • The dossier cites 588 witness statements, roughly 395 documents and more than 200 seized exhibits from a probe spanning Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi‑NCR.
  • Forensics identify Triacetone Triperoxide, a volatile explosive made from common chemicals, and DNA matched the deceased driver, Dr Umer Un Nabi, for whom charges are proposed to be abated.
  • The NIA alleges the group regrouped in 2022 as “AGuH Interim” under an operation called “Heavenly Hind” to recruit members, procure AK‑series rifles and test drone‑ and rocket‑mounted IEDs, with 11 arrests so far and efforts ongoing to track absconders.
