New Delhi: Delhi Police on Saturday registered a fresh FIR under criminal conspiracy sections as part of the ongoing probe into the Red Fort blast, officials said.
The new FIR follows the November 10 car explosion near the historic Red Fort that claimed 12 lives. Security in and around the monument has since been tightened, with authorities keeping strict watch over all entry points and surrounding areas.
A day earlier, the National Medical Commission (NMC) cancelled the registrations of four Jammu and Kashmir–based doctors — Dr Muzaffar Ahmad, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzamil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed — in both the Indian Medical Register and National Medical Register, sources said. The decision, effective from November 14, 2025, has been communicated to all State Medical Councils.
Delhi Police have already arrested Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzamil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed in connection with the blast, citing their alleged links to previous terror-related activities.
Investigation agencies revealed on Thursday that eight suspects were allegedly planning coordinated blasts across four cities, with each pair assigned specific targets. Preliminary findings suggest the accused were to travel in pairs, each carrying multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) meant for simultaneous attacks.
Police also confirmed that the individual who carried out the Red Fort car blast was Dr Umar Un Nabi, after his DNA matched samples taken from his mother.
Meanwhile, Al-Falah University issued a clarification distancing itself from Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, stating that the institution has no association with the accused beyond their official roles and that no suspicious chemicals or materials are stored on campus.
The November 10 blast near the Red Fort complex killed 12 people and injured several others.
Investigators have recovered diaries belonging to accused Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, containing entries dated November 8 to 12, suggesting that planning for the attack was underway during that period. The diaries also list about 25 names, mostly of individuals from Jammu and Kashmir and Faridabad, sources said.
Essential DNA, explosive materials and other samples from the blast site have been collected and sent for forensic analysis. The case has now been transferred to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
