Delhi Red Fort Blast Declared Terror Attack: Telegram Chats and Last-Minute Changes Reveal New Clues
New Delhi | November 13, 2025 The Red Fort car blast that killed 10 people and injured over 20 has now officially been declared a terror attack by the Central government. Investigators have found new leads linking the explosion to the Jaish-e-Mohammed group through Telegram messages on the phones of the arrested suspects, who are doctors. Officials believe the explosion may have been triggered in panic when police closed in on a terror module based in Faridabad. A senior government statement described the blast as a “heinous terror incident” and reaffirmed India’s “zero tolerance” policy towards terrorism. The announcement followed a high-level security meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Investigators are now trying to determine whether the explosion was part of a planned attack or the result of a failed or rushed operation. Digital evidence shows that the arrested doctors were in touch with handlers across the border through Telegram chats. The suspects reportedly received instructions from Jaish operatives in Pakistan. Police have also confirmed that two key suspects, Dr Umar Nabi and Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie, travelled to Turkey in 2022, where they are believed to have met their handlers. Their recent communications and movement patterns have strengthened suspicions of international links behind the attack. Meanwhile, personal details about one of the arrested doctors, Shaheen Shahid, have emerged. Her former husband, Dr Zafar Hayat, told reporters that he was shocked by her alleged involvement. He shared that they were married in 2003, had two children, and divorced in 2015 after she suddenly left the family. He said he never imagined she would be connected to any extremist activity. Investigators are now piecing together how a group of well-educated professionals turned to radical ideologies and became part of a larger terror network. With evidence pointing to encrypted chats, foreign links, and hurried last-minute changes in their plans, officials are treating the case as one of the most alarming terror incidents in recent years. The probe continues, with security agencies coordinating across states and international channels to uncover the full extent of the network. For now, Delhi remains on high alert as authorities work to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
