Delhi Blast Live Updates: Investigators Uncover Massive Terror Plan, 32 Cars Were Being Prepared for Serial Attacks
New Delhi | November 13, 2025 The investigation into the Red Fort car blast has taken a serious turn, with intelligence agencies revealing that the suspects were planning a series of coordinated attacks across Delhi and nearby cities. According to officials, the accused had been preparing nearly 32 old vehicles to be loaded with explosives for simultaneous strikes. The explosion near the Red Fort on Monday evening, around 6:52 PM, left at least ten people dead and more than twenty injured. The blast occurred close to the Lal Quila Metro Station, one of the city’s busiest and most secure areas, triggering panic and chaos. The explosion destroyed multiple cars and caused a massive fire. Investigators have already confirmed that the blast car, a white Hyundai i20, was driven by Dr Umar Un Nabi, whose identity was verified through DNA testing. His remains were found trapped inside the vehicle. Another car, a red Ford EcoSport, has also been linked to the case, while police continue to search for a suspected third vehicle—a Maruti Brezza. Security agencies recovered diaries belonging to Dr Umar and his associate, Dr Muzammil, which mentioned plans for blasts between November 8 and 12 and listed around 25 names of people, many from Jammu and Kashmir and Faridabad. Officials believe these documents are key evidence proving a premeditated terror plot. The suspects reportedly raised ₹20 lakh to buy explosives and materials, including 20 quintals of fertiliser. They communicated through encrypted apps like Signal and Telegram, coordinating their movements secretly. Authorities suspect that after the arrests of two associates in Faridabad, the group panicked, leading Umar to trigger the bomb early. Investigations have expanded across Delhi, Faridabad, and Kashmir, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) leading the probe. Police and counterintelligence teams have conducted raids in 13 locations across Jammu and Kashmir. Among those questioned is Dr Muzaffar Mir from Anantnag, who is being investigated for his possible links to the network. Meanwhile, international reactions continue to pour in. The UK’s Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and British-Indian minister Seema Malhotra expressed condolences to India and the victims’ families. As a precaution, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has closed the Lal Quila Metro Station indefinitely. Security remains tight around the Red Fort and nearby markets, as investigators piece together the full extent of the terror plan.
