9 dead and 20 injured in the Red Fort blast that took place on November 10, 2025 around 6:52 pm on Subhash Marg, near Gate No. 1, in a Hyundai i20 car.
The explosion indeed presented a terrifying scene. A high alert has been declared across Delhi and its neighboring states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Mumbai, and Punjab.
According to police, CCTV footage has given investigators the key timeline leading to the explosion. The silver Hyundai i20 entered the parking area adjacent to Sunehri Masjid at 3:19 pm and was there for more than three hours, leaving at 6:48 pm, only minutes before the blast at 7:00 pm.
The driver was captured in the footage, masked with a black face mask. Another angle showed the masked man to be definitely like the appearance of fugitive Dr. Umar Mohammad, who was suspected of terror links.
The investigation rapidly focused on the first main suspect, identified by police as Dr. Umar Un Nabi from Pulwama, Kashmir. He is believed to be the person driving the car when it exploded. Dr. Umar Un Nabi was in contact with other Kashmiri doctors recently arrested for terror links.
