The house of Umar Nabi, who drove the explosive-laden car involved in the Delhi blast, has been demolished by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district, officials said on Friday (November 14, 2025). The demolition was carried out during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, they said.
Multiple agencies continue to join the dots from Kashmir, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh amid ongoing investigation into the Delhi car blast case. Two more people, including a medical college professor and a medical student from J&K, were detained in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday (November 13, 2025). The Union government has ordered a forensic audit of all records of the Al-Falah University in Faridabad, where a number of suspects linked to the blast case studied or worked.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the punishment for the culprits of the Delhi car blast will send a message to the world that no terrorist should even dare to think of committing such an act in India.
Mr. Shah said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the entire world has recognised India’s fight against terrorism over the past 11 years, adding that the Prime Minister is at the forefront of leading this fight globally. He stated that all those who committed this cowardly act and those behind it will be brought before the law and given the strictest possible punishment. The Indian government and the Ministry of Home Affairs are fully committed to ensuring this, he said.
The J&K police said it has “intensified action against the terror networks” in north and south Kashmir. Raids and searches in Kashmir continued against the members of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and the families of those who relatives are in Pakistan or Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK).
“Six individuals linked with subversive networks were brought to police stations and bound down under law in Baramulla. Twenty-two properties associated with terrorist associates were searched and 20 terrorist associates were bound down and 02 were sent to jail under preventive detention; two individuals booked under UAPA (presently on bail) were examined, one bound down under preventive law,” the police said.
The spokesman said eight bailed UAPA accused were identified for bail cancellation and two have been submitted before the competent court in the district.
The Delhi police complained of gaps in information shared between police teams in different States, with one Delhi police officer telling The Hindu that they had not been alerted about the movement of a “high profile suspect” by the J&K or Haryana police. “If we had been alerted that a suspect had gone missing from Faridabad, then we would have alerted all our checkpoints, including the toll plaza,” the officer said, pointing out that Nabi can be tracked through CCTV footage, using the same vehicle. The Delhi police have reconstructed Nabi’s last hours, right from leaving Faridabad the night before the blast to its execution, using footage from more than 50 cameras.
The source further told The Hindu that they have learnt that Nabi visited Wazirpur at around 12 p.m. on Monday (November 10). “We are conducting raids door to door to establish his connection with his visit,” the police said. 
The house of Dr Umar Nabi, who drove the explosive-laden car involved in the Delhi blast, has been demolished by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district, officials said on Friday (November 14, 2025).
The demolition was carried out during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, they said.
Umar was behind the wheels of the Hyundai i20 that was laden with explosives. His identity was confirmed after DNA samples collected from the blast site matched with those of his mother.
Dr. Farukh, an assistant professor of obstetrics at Hapur’s GS Medical College, was detained by Delhi Police from the college campus on Wednesday night (November 12), PTI reported. He had completed his medical education from Al-Falah University.
Official sources said that Mohammad Arif Mir, a native of Khagund Qazigund in J&K and a first-year student at the Laxmipat Singhania Institute of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of the state-run Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial (GSVM) Medical College in Kanpur, was also detained by the U.P. anti-terrorist squad. He is suspected of being in touch with Dr. Shaheen Sayeed, a former GSVM professor who worked at Al-Falah and has been arrested for “amassing explosives” over the past year. 
A medical college professor and a medical student, both from Jammu and Kashmir, were detained in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday (November 13, 2025), in connection with the car blast near Red Fort.
The Jammu and Kashmir police issued a Red Corner Notice against another doctor from Kashmir, now believed to be based in Dubai, whose brother has already been arrested. Dozens of people have been detained in J&K raids of people and properties linked to terror networks.
