New Delhi: A week after the devastating Red Fort blast that claimed 15 lives and injured 28 others, a self-recorded video of the suicide bomber, Dr. Umar un Nabi, has surfaced, revealing the radicalized mindset behind the deadly November 10 attack. In the disturbing footage, the doctor-turned-terrorist attempts to justify suicide bombings by reframing them as “martyrdom operations,” exposing the dangerous ideology that fueled one of Delhi’s deadliest terror attacks in recent years.
The video, whose authenticity is being verified by investigative agencies, shows Dr. Umar sitting alone in a room, calmly articulating his twisted justification for suicide attacks. Swaying on a chair, he methodically formulates arguments attempting to legitimize such acts of violence through distorted religious interpretation.
What Dr. Umar Says in the Video
In the viral footage, Dr. Umar claims that suicide bombings are widely misunderstood and should instead be recognized as “martyrdom missions,” a term he insists is rooted in Islamic theology. He argues that a martyrdom mission occurs when an individual believes their death will happen at a specific place and time, deliberately conflating legitimate religious concepts with terrorist violence.
At one point during the recording, after making several arguments in favor of suicide attacks, he suddenly turns the camera toward a window. Investigators believe he recorded multiple such videos with the intention of radicalizing others and spreading extremist propaganda within susceptible circles.

The November 10 Red Fort Blast: What Happened
On November 10, 2025, at approximately 6:52 PM, a slow-moving Hyundai i20 car exploded near the Red Fort Metro Station in Old Delhi, triggering chaos and devastation in the historic area. Dr. Umar un Nabi, a resident of Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir and a faculty member at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, was behind the wheel of the vehicle packed with ammonium nitrate fuel oil.
The powerful blast ripped through shopfronts, killed 15 innocent people, and left 28 others injured. The explosion sent shockwaves through the capital and exposed a sophisticated terror network operating under the guise of professional respectability.
White-Collar Terror Network Uncovered in Faridabad
The investigation revealed that Dr. Umar was part of a sophisticated “white-collar terrorism” module operating from Al-Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana. The core group consisted of 10 members, including several doctors and educated professionals who used their respectable positions to mask their terrorist activities.
The terror plot began to unravel when authorities recovered a staggering 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate and explosives from two rented rooms in Faridabad. Police seized 358 kg from a room in Dhauj village and 2,600 kg from Fatehpur Taga, where the explosives had been discreetly stored over several weeks. Both rooms were rented by Dr. Muzammil Shakeel, Umar’s colleague at Al-Falah University.
The Masterminds: Links to Jaish-e-Mohammed
National Investigation Agency officials revealed that this terror module was likely run by Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed. The network was headed by a Pakistan-based operative named Umar-bin-Khattab, alias Hanjullah, and Maulvi Irfan Ahmed Waghe, an Islamic cleric from Shopian in Jammu and Kashmir.
The investigation has uncovered that the terrorists had chilling plans for as many as 32 car bomb attacks across the country, apparently seeking revenge for the Babri Masjid demolition. The massive volume of recovered explosives, nearly 3,000 kg, confirms the scope of their deadly intentions.
Key Arrests in the Red Fort Blast Case
The NIA has made several significant arrests in connection with the Red Fort bombing. On November 15, the agency arrested Amir Rashid Ali from Delhi, who allegedly conspired with Dr. Umar to carry out the terror attack. Crucially, the car used in the attack was registered under Amir Rashid’s name.
Subsequently, the NIA arrested Jasir Bilal Wani, alias Danish, a resident of Qazigund in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. Wani allegedly provided technical support for the terror attacks by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets ahead of the deadly blast. He worked closely with Dr. Umar to plan the terror carnage.
Other doctors under investigation include Dr. Muzammil Shakeel from Baramulla, Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather from Kulgam, and Dr. Shaheen, all associated with Al-Falah University. Dr. Adeel was found to have an AK-47 rifle hidden in his locker at GMC Srinagar.
Final Hours Before the Attack
New CCTV footage obtained by investigators shows Dr. Umar visiting the Faiz-e-Ilahi mosque in Faridabad for prayers just hours before carrying out the deadly car blast near Red Fort. The footage provides crucial evidence of his movements on the day of the attack and his state of mind before executing the suicide mission.
Fearing imminent arrest after several of his associates were detained in connection with the discovery of the Faridabad explosives cache, Dr. Umar hastily decided to execute the attack on November 10, driving the explosives-laden vehicle to Delhi’s Red Fort area.
Ongoing Investigation and Multiple Leads
The NIA has examined 73 witnesses so far, including those injured in the blast, and is working in close coordination with Delhi Police, Jammu and Kashmir Police, Haryana Police, Uttar Pradesh Police, and various sister agencies. The anti-terror agency has also seized another vehicle belonging to Dr. Umar, which is being examined for evidence.
Investigators are pursuing multiple leads to unearth the larger conspiracy behind the bombing and identify others involved in the case. The probe has revealed connections to a broader network of radicalized professionals, raising concerns about the growing threat of white-collar terrorism in India.
