‘Entire Nation Stands With The Victims,’ Says Modi
Speaking with emotion, Modi said he came to Bhutan “with a heavy heart” as the horrific incident in Delhi has deeply saddened the nation. “I understand the grief of the affected families. Today the entire country stands with them,” he added.
The Prime Minister, who switched to English midway through his speech to reach a global audience, declared, “All those responsible will be brought to justice.” Officials confirmed he remained in touch with all investigating agencies through the night as the probe into the Red Fort Blast intensified.
Pulwama Doctor Linked To The Blast
Investigators revealed that the car involved in the explosion — a white Hyundai i20 — was owned and driven by Dr. Umar Mohammad, a Pulwama-based doctor. He is suspected to have ties with the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror group and was allegedly part of a radical Telegram network of doctors. The explosion occurred at 6:52 PM near a busy intersection close to the Red Fort Metro Station, damaging several vehicles.
Connection To Faridabad Explosives Seizure
Hours before the Delhi blast, police in Faridabad, Haryana, seized 2,900 kg of explosive materials including ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur from rented rooms linked to another Kashmiri doctor, Muzammil Shakeel.
Shakeel and Adeel Ahmad Rather were among eight individuals arrested for being part of a “white-collar terror module” operating across Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Officials now believe Umar was also part of this network, directly connecting the Faridabad explosives case to the Red Fort Blast.
