Recent investigations into the Delhi blast have unveiled a startling truth: the explosion was an accident, a result of terrorist panic following the capture of accomplices and the exposure of a terror network in Faridabad. Security agencies have uncovered a chilling plot targeting prominent Indian landmarks. The primary objectives included the revered Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, alongside critical government and military installations in New Delhi. High-value targets identified by the thwarted plotters were Sena Bhavan, the Air Force office, the BJP office, and Parliament House road.
Authorities have detained approximately 1500 individuals as the investigation into the Delhi terror blast continues. Evidence suggests the suicide bomber, Dr. Umar, lacked sufficient materials for a high-intensity blast, indicating the Red Fort incident was a miscalculation. The uncovered plot highlights the extensive planning, with terrorists amassing a significant quantity of ammonium nitrate over two years, and the specific explosives for the Delhi blast being prepared in the preceding 30 days.
Further intelligence emerged from intercepted communications. Chats from an arrested doctor, Shaheen, revealed a coded language, using ‘Dawat’ for ‘blast’ and ‘Biryani’ for ‘explosive’. A message stating ‘Dawat ke liye biryanai taiyar hai’ (explosive is ready for blast) underscores the sophisticated, albeit sinister, communication methods employed.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has formed a dedicated team to meticulously probe this terrorist act, attributed to a Jaish-e-Mohammad module. The investigation has traced the blast’s origins to an FIR registered in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, following the discovery of objectionable posters. The NIA is also scrutinizing the involvement of several individuals arrested from different regions, including Maulvi Irfan Ahmad Waghay from Shopian, Zamir Ahmad from Ganderbal, and Dr. Adeel from Saharanpur. Recoveries of arms and explosives from various locations, including Al-Falah Medical College and Faridabad, have been significant, totaling nearly 3,000 kilograms of explosive materials and bomb-making equipment.
