New Delhi – In the wake of the deadly car explosion near Delhi's Red Fort that claimed 13 lives on November 10, 2025, a massive investigation has uncovered a chilling terror plot with links to past terror incidents. Intelligence agencies have revealed that the terrorists intended to use 32 vehicles for a coordinated serial bomb attack across multiple locations in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).
The investigation, which is still ongoing, suggests that the accused had already begun modifying vehicles for use in the attacks. An i20, the vehicle that exploded near the Red Fort, and an EcoSport were among the first cars being prepared with explosives. Investigators are now working to determine if other vehicles were also being readied as part of the broader plan. According to sources, preparations were underway to equip 32 old vehicles with explosives.
The Economic Times reports that authorities seized a red EcoSport DL 10 CK 0458 in Faridabad, suspecting its connection to Dr. Umar Un Nabi, the primary suspect in the Delhi blast case. Preliminary investigations indicate the accused planned to operate in pairs, each transporting multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) for simultaneous attacks.
NDTV reports that a Maruti Suzuki Brezza and a Maruti Swift Dzire were also being prepared to carry explosives. The four cars, including the Hyundai i20 that exploded, were intended to be part of a coordinated six-phase attack targeting six locations in Delhi on December 6. This date is significant as it marks the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition in Ayodhya in 1992, and the terrorists arrested in connection with the blast stated that they wanted to avenge the demolition.
The suspects planned to execute coordinated explosions at four locations, with pairs assigned to specific target cities. Investigators are scrutinizing individuals linked to past terror cases, including Red Fort blast accused Dr. Muzammil, Dr. Adeel, Dr. Umar, and Shaheen.
According to Hindustan Times, police officials uncovered a "clear Jaish angle" through Telegram chats on the arrested doctors' phones. The investigation is focused on four doctors working at Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research Centre in Faridabad, linking them to the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad. The university claims to have "no connection" with them. Room number 13 in building number 17 of the university, belonging to Dr. Muzammil, served as a meeting hub where the terrorists frequently met and planned the attacks.
The Centre has declared the Red Fort explosion a "terror incident," with the government reiterating its commitment to zero tolerance towards terrorism. Following a meeting of the cabinet committee on security, a government statement condemned the heinous act perpetrated by anti-national forces.
