The painful stories of the dead and injured innocents

13 people were killed in this blast. Most were civilians, including taxi drivers, e-rickshaw drivers, and bus conductors. The cosmetic shop owner and these people had come to Delhi for employment. Their families are now broken. The first name is Dinesh Mishra, 32 years old, from Ganeshpur village. He used to drive an e-rickshaw. He lost his life in the blast. His wife and two children are now alone. The second victim is Shiva Jaiswal, 22 years old, from Deoria. He was injured and is undergoing treatment in the hospital. Another victim was a survivor of the Sarojini Nagar blast.

He was helping others but was injured himself. More than 20 people were injured in total. They were taken to LNJP Hospital. Some families accused the hospital management of negligence. There was a delay in identifying the bodies. Six bodies were initially identified. The forensic report is awaited. Then Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced compensation: 10 lakh rupees to the families of the deceased, 5 lakh rupees to the permanently disabled, and 2 lakh rupees to the seriously injured. 20 thousand rupees to those with minor injuries. This help will not ease the pain. But it will provide support to the families.

Prime Minister Modi’s warning: A strong message from Bhutan

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Bhutan on November 11th. He was delivering a speech in Thimphu when he received news of the Delhi bombings. His heart sank. He said in Hindi, “The conspirators behind this conspiracy will not be spared. The agencies will get to the root of this conspiracy.” He then spoke in English, “All the culprits will be brought to justice.” He added that he had been in contact with the agencies throughout the night. “The entire nation stands with the families of the victims.” This statement brings to mind the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack. There, Modi had also said, “The terrorists will be punished, and so will their patrons.”

Modi’s warning is clear India will not tolerate terrorism. Despite his visit to Bhutan, he immediately spoke with Amit Shah and reviewed the situation. This shows that security is his priority. It instilled confidence in the country’s citizens.

Progress of the Investigation: The NIA has taken over the case.

The Delhi Police filed an FIR immediately after the blast. Under sections 16 and 18 of the UAPA, and sections 3 and 4 of the Explosives Act. The Home Ministry then handed the case over to the NIA. NIA officials arrived at the scene and are coordinating with the Delhi Police, where forensic teams collected samples. The NSG conducted an investigation. No crater was found and not much shrapnel was used. This means the explosion was limited, but deadly. Preliminary reports suggest it could have been a suicide attack, or a transportation error. The investigation also uncovered a Kashmir link.

The car owner was Dr. Umar Mohammad of Pulwama, who was driving the car. Umar was a member of a radical doctors’ group. This group is active on Telegram but is linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, a Pakistan-based organization. A raid was conducted in Faridabad. 2900 kg of explosives were recovered: ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulfur from two rented rooms. The owner is Kashmiri doctor Muzammil Shakeel. Eight people were arrested, including Adil Ahmed Rather, a member of a ‘white-collar terror’ module active in Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Links to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind

The dark face of the terrorist module: Delhi Red Fort blast

This conspiracy is a new one, involving white-collar terror. Educated individuals are involved: doctors and engineers, and they use social media. Telegram channels. Funding. Weapons and explosives. Umar Nabi, a doctor from Pulwama, is associated with Al-Falah Medical College. He was carrying explosives in his car. It may have exploded in panic. Muzammil Shakeel and Adil Rather are also hiding in Haryana. Al-Falah University staff are being questioned. Jammu and Kashmir Police are active. Drones and cameras are deployed on the border. Border checks are being conducted on Indo-Nepal and India-Pakistan borders. False bomb scare calls have been received, all fake. This module is linked to Jaish and Ansar. It was sponsored by Pakistan and attempted to break India’s unity. It failed.

Security measures: Entire country on alert Delhi Red Fort blast

High alert after the blast: Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Bangalore. Checks at airports, railway stations, bus terminals, vigilance at borders, and CISF on the Delhi Metro. Chandni Chowk closed. Lajpat Nagar alert. Amit Shah held meetings. IB Director. NIA DG. Delhi Police Commissioner, who is also J&K DGP. Virtual. J&K LG Manoj Sinha reviewed. Punjab red alert. Haryana high alert. Checks on vehicles. Suspects under surveillance. Lodge checks, then NSG. FSL. Delhi Police on scene. Bomb disposal squad There’s no danger. But be cautious.

Reactions from leaders and the public conveyed a message of solidarity.

Amit Shah said, “We will catch everyone guilty.” Delhi CM Rekha Gupta announced compensation. Candlelight vigils were held in Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir. People took to the streets, demanding justice. Twitter was abuzz. One post read, “PM Modi’s warning. Justice will come.” Another included a video. “India will fight terror.” The public was angry, but united. Hashtags trended. #DelhiBlast #JusticeForVictims. Nevertheless, the opposition expressed support. President Draupadi Murmu expressed condolences. Bhutan offered condolences. International, as well as historical, context: Delhi has been a frequent target of previous blasts. Sarojini Nagar in 2005. Mumbai in 2008. But not like 26/11 in Delhi. The 2001 Parliament attack.

The 2006 train blasts, then the Red Fort, are always sensitive. Tourists flock to Independence Day. Security tightened, and the blast was linked to Operation Sindoor. Twenty-six civilians were killed in Pahalgam. India responded with a ceasefire, but the plots continued. Pakistan’s involvement is suspected.
