The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a Kashmiri resident who was allegedly a part of the conspiracy to trigger the car bomb blast near the Red Fort, which claimed 10 lives and injured 32 people on November 10.
“Amir Rashid Ali, in whose name the car involved in the attack was registered, was arrested in Delhi by the NIA, which had launched a massive search operation after taking over the case from the Delhi police,” said the agency on Sunday (November 16, 2025).
The NIA said its investigations revealed that the accused, a resident of Samboora in Pampore, had conspired with the alleged “suicide bomber”, Umar Un Nabi, to carry out the terror attack.
“Amir had come to Delhi to facilitate the purchase of the car, which was eventually used as a vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Device (IED) to trigger the blast. The NIA has forensically established the identity of the deceased driver of the vehicle-borne IED as Umar Un Nabi, a resident of Pulwama district and Assistant Professor in the General Medicine Department at Al Falah University at Faridabad (Haryana),” the NIA said.

“The anti-terror agency has also seized another vehicle belonging to Nabi. The vehicle is being examined for evidence in the case, in which NIA has so far examined 73 witnesses including those injured in the blast that rocked the national capital on November 10,” it said.
Working in close coordination with the police of Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, besides various other agencies, the NIA is continuing its probe across several States. “It is pursuing multiple leads to unearth the larger conspiracy behind the bombing and identify others involved in the case,” said the NIA.
