Terrorists were receiving orders from Turkey to carry out bomb blasts in India

  • Ayodhya and Kashi were on target

  • Blast carried out after failing to execute during Diwali

  • Also planned blasts on 26th January

New Delhi – Evidence has emerged from the seized passports of terrorists Dr Umar Nabi and Dr Muzammil Shakeel confirming that they had traveled to Turkey. Investigations have revealed that they were receiving orders from Turkey to plot terrorist attacks in India. Umar Nabi and Muzammil Shakeel joined certain suspicious Telegram groups, and soon after, they visited Turkey. Handlers based in Turkey and Nangarhar Province in Afghanistan were in continuous contact with Dr Umar and other terrorists. The arrested terrorists had targeted temples in Uttar Pradesh, particularly those in Ayodhya, Kashi, and Varanasi — possibly including the Shriram Temple.

Maulvi Irfan — The main mastermind

According to sources, a handler in Turkey had instructed doctors connected to the Faridabad terrorist module to spread out across India and identify their local targets. These included Faridabad and Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), both chosen after their Turkey visit. Previously arrested Maulvi Irfan Ahmad, a religious leader from Srinagar, has been identified as the key mastermind of the Faridabad group. He was directly in contact with Afghan handlers from India.

Maulvi Irfan Ahmad radicalised medical college students, brainwashing and preparing them for jihad. He worked as a paramedical employee at the Government Medical College in Srinagar and also served as an imam at a mosque in Nowgam. He particularly targeted students from Faridabad, turning them into jihadis.

Influence of Jaish-e-Mohammed

Irfan Ahmad was influenced by the terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). He would show students videos of Masood Azhar, the JeM chief, and other propaganda materials. He also maintained satellite phone contact with individuals in Afghanistan. Dr Umar and Irfan remained in constant communication.

Another doctor arrested

Another individual, Dr Tajammul from South Kashmir, has been arrested in connection with this case. He worked at a hospital in Srinagar.

300 kg of ammonium nitrate still missing

A total of 3,200 kg of ammonium nitrate had been sent from Kashmir to Faridabad. Over 2,900 kg has been seized, but 300 kg remains missing. Authorities suspect part of it was used in the Delhi blast. Preliminary reports indicate the explosives entered India from Bangladesh via Nepal into Kashmir and were stolen from a fertiliser plant.

Blast near Red Fort was pre-planned

Preliminary investigation suggests that the bomb blast near Red Fort by jihadi terrorists was pre-planned. Their main targets were Diwali and Republic Day (26 January). When they failed to execute their plan during Diwali, they hastily carried out the Red Fort blast following action by the law enforcement.

Arrested terrorist Dr Muzammil confessed that he and Dr Umar had conducted a reconnaissance of the Red Fort area in early January 2025. They were plotting a major explosion in Delhi on Republic Day. They had also planned an attack on a crowded Diwali market, but it was called off at the last moment. Sources said that after a raid in Faridabad, Dr Umar panicked and drove toward Delhi with explosives, leading to the blast near Red Fort.

Examination of Dr Muzammil’s mobile phone revealed that he had visited Delhi multiple times this year and had photos of several Delhi locations. Investigators are tracing whom he was meeting in the city.

Raids at 200 locations in Kashmir

Security agencies have conducted raids at 200 locations in Kashmir. In Shopian, the homes of Jamaat-e-Islami members were raided. Police arrested Maulana Ishtefaq. The seized explosives had been prepared over 30–40 days and transported to Faridabad in 3–4 phases. Another Maulvi from Haryana, who was living at Al-Falah University, has also been arrested.

Dr Shaheen was stockpiling explosives for 2 years

Investigations revealed that terrorist Dr Shaheen Shahid had been collecting explosive materials for the last two years. During interrogation, she admitted to conspiring with other doctors to carry out terrorist attacks across India.

Dr Shaheen was associated with the women’s recruitment wing of Jaish-e-Mohammed. Her responsibility was recruiting women, particularly female medical students, as they were less likely to draw suspicion.

Interrogation of Dr Parvez, brother of Dr Shaheen

Dr Shaheen’s brother, Dr Parvez, was detained from his home in Lucknow and brought to Delhi for interrogation. Dr Shaheen had been in constant contact with him.

Plot similar to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks; plan to make 200 bombs

A senior Haryana Police officer revealed that the terrorist group intended to manufacture more than 200 powerful bombs. They had procured 2,900 kg of explosives, timers, and bomb-making materials. The plan was to carry out large-scale coordinated attacks, similar to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks — including simultaneous explosions across cities and indiscriminate shootings with rifles like AK-47s and AK-56s in public places. Even hospitals were on their target list.

Attempt to incite communal tension

According to a senior Haryana Police officer, the terrorists aimed to incite communal unrest in Delhi by targeting Red Fort, India Gate, Constitution Club, and religious sites in Uttar Pradesh. Similar targets had been selected in Gurugram and Faridabad as well.

‘Al-Falah University’ website hacked; message warns jihadis

The website of Al-Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, was hacked with a message reading, “There is no place for such an Islamic university on Indian soil. If you wish to live in India, live peacefully. Otherwise, those involved in Islamic jihad should leave for Pakistan. Take this as a warning — we are watching your anti-national activities. Stop them, or we will destroy you.”

Following the Delhi blast, Police raided Al-Falah University and detained 13 individuals — including 7 doctors, 5 students, and one woman. The car used in the explosion was driven by Dr Umar, who taught at the university. That same car had been parked in the university compound for several days.

Pakistani Army involved in Delhi Blast; claims Pakistani journalist Taha Siddiqui

Pakistani journalist Taha Siddiqui claimed that the Pakistani army was behind both the Delhi blast and the Islamabad explosion.

He wrote in a post, ‘Both attacks involved suicide bombers. The Pakistan Army uses terrorism as a tool of its foreign policy. As a result, South Asia faces instability rather than peace’.
