In a significant development in the Delhi Red Fort Blast update, the Delhi Police Special Cell has registered a fresh FIR that alleges a deeper and more sophisticated conspiracy behind the car explosion near the historic Red Fort.
Doctor-Module at the Core of the Conspiracy
Investigators say the blast is not a lone act but part of a larger terror network, involving a so-called “doctor module”, allegedly led by Dr. Umar Mohammad. According to sources, at least six doctors from medical institutions across Haryana, Jammu, and Pulwama are under scrutiny for their potential roles in planning or supporting the attack.
Spycraft Tactics Revealed
The FIR highlights that this “doctor module” used highly technical, spy-style communication:
- Encrypted emails, drafted but not sent, to minimize digital trace.
- Use of the Threema app, which doesn’t require phone numbers or regular email IDs.
- A private server alleged to have been used to share maps, plans, and secure messages.
- “Silent stopovers” across different cities to avoid detection.
These deep-level tactics suggest a level of planning well beyond a random terror act, reinforcing suspicions that the Red Fort blast was coordinated and professional.
Car, Route & CCTV Insights
The vehicle used in the blast was a silver Hyundai i20, which was spotted on CCTV being parked near Sunheri Masjid for over three hours before the explosion. OSINT (open-source intelligence) reconstructions indicate that in the final 30 minutes before the blast, the car moved through crowded market areas and temples — possibly to ensure maximum impact.
Links to Terror Modules
Authorities believe that the doctor-module may have cross-border terror links, especially to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). The possibility of foreign handlers and funding is being closely investigated.
Arrests & Interrogation
In a major crackdown, six doctors have already been detained or questioned. Security agencies are also examining the ownership chain of the i20 car, and how it passed through various hands before being used in the blast.
Suicide-Attack Angle & Forensic Evidence
Officials suspect a fidayeen-style attack, meaning a suicide bombing, due to the nature of the explosion. DNA samples are being matched with the family of Dr. Umar to confirm if he was indeed in the driver’s seat.
Implications & Security Risk
Security experts warn that if the “doctor-module” is proven to be real, it marks a dangerous evolution of terror strategy — exploiting professionals, using spy-level tradecraft, and building sleeper networks. Such a module is harder to detect and can pose long-term threats.
What’s Next in the Investigation
- The Special Cell will intensify forensic analysis of all digital devices seized.
- The secret server will be traced and monitored for further communication.
- International cooperation may be sought if cross-border links are confirmed.
- Intelligence agencies will map the full extent of the doctor-terror network, including all previously unknown associates.
