NIA Expands Probe with Raids in Kashmir and UP

Authorities from the National Investigation Agency executed search operations at multiple locations across Jammu and Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh connected to the investigation into the car bomb explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort. The raids, carried out at eight distinct sites in the Shopian, Kulgam, Pulwama and Awantipora districts, along with one area in Lucknow, resulted in the seizure of digital devices and other materials described by investigators as “incriminating.”

The series of simultaneous searches aims to unravel the network behind the November 10 attack that killed 11 people and injured many others. So far, seven individuals linked to the blast have been arrested. Among the properties searched was the residence of a previously detained suspect, while digital forensics teams are combing through the confiscated material to piece together the structure and reach of the alleged terror module.

Earlier operations conducted on November 26 and 27 had targeted premises associated with two doctors — both implicated in the case — at the complex of a private university in Faridabad. Those raids produced a large haul of cash, gold, foreign currency and other evidence, currently under detailed scrutiny by investigators.

Security agencies now describe the blast as the work of a “white-collar” terror module that allegedly exploited professional cover to mask illicit activities. Evidence gathered during the probe suggests the group may have been preparing for a broader assault under a clandestine plan internall-named “Operation D-6.” The aborted twin-attack plan reportedly involved multiple cities and was intended to amplify the shock value of the Red Fort blast.

Among the suspects taken into custody is a man accused of procuring the vehicle used in the explosion; authorities assert the vehicle was officially registered in his name. Another suspect, a Kashmiri resident, has been charged with providing technical assistance — including alleged work on modifying drones and rockets — to aid terror operations. Investigators are continuing to interrogate the apprehended individuals while coordinating with police forces across several states.
