Dr Muhammad Umar, a Pulwama-based doctor linked to a recently uncovered terror module in Faridabad, has been named the prime suspect in the Red Fort Car Blast incident. Umar’s sister-in-law expressed shock and disbelief over the terror allegations, describing him as a “simple, soft-spoken doctor” with no known extremist links. She revealed that the family last spoke to him days before the blast and had no idea about his whereabouts since then.
On the evening of November 10, 2025, a devastating car explosion near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort Metro Station took at least 13 lives and injured several others. The blast occurred when a Hyundai i20, parked for nearly three hours at a busy traffic signal near the Red Fort, detonated in what authorities are investigating as a suspected suicide terrorist attack.
Police have detained Umar’s family and several associates amid a comprehensive probe involving the National Security Guard, National Investigation Agency, and Delhi Police. The incident has heightened security across Delhi and several adjacent states, with prominent officials, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, leading the investigation.
Family Shock and Community Impact
The revelation that Dr Umar may be involved stunned his family and local community. His sister-in-law described him as a simple, studious man with no apparent ties to extremist ideologies. The family last connected with him days before the blast, and they remain bewildered at the allegations.
The suspect’s vehicle, a Hyundai i20, had changed hands multiple times before falling under his possession. This detail has drawn attention to a wider terror network recently busted in Faridabad, which included at least four doctors implicated in the procurement of explosives.
Videos and CCTV footage from the area show the car parked approximately three hours before the explosion, with forensic teams actively piecing together evidence from over 100 clips.
Terror Module and Security Measures
Earlier, a large cache of explosives, including 2,900 kilograms of materials like ammonium nitrate, was seized in Faridabad following arrests linked to this module. Police operations across Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh indicate a pan-India espionage and terror activity pattern.
Following the blast, Delhi has witnessed heightened security protocols, including roadblocks, increased patrols, and enhanced surveillance at sensitive sites. Officials have closed the Red Fort to the public for three days to facilitate investigations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the nation that all those responsible for this horrific act would be brought to justice swiftly.
The Logical Indian’s Perspective
The Red Fort blast is a deeply tragic event that tests the robust fabric of Indian society. While the imperative for security and justice remains paramount, it is equally important to approach the aftermath with empathy and restraint. Labeling entire communities on the basis of individual actions only fuels division and discord.
The Logical Indian calls on citizens, media, and authorities alike to foster a culture of peace, dialogue, and understanding. Addressing the root causes and social undercurrents that allow radicalisation requires collective effort and compassion.
