New Delhi, Nov 11 (NationPress) Following the public revelation of an arms seizure involving medical professionals in Kashmir, along with a joint operation in Faridabad that uncovered a substantial cache of explosives, security experts speculate that the perpetrator of the Delhi blast may have panicked, leading him to execute a "lone wolf" attack.

Former member of India's National Security Advisory Board, Kulbir Krishan, supported this theory, describing it as a "plausible explanation" connecting the incidents in Kashmir and Faridabad with the explosion at the Red Fort. He raised questions about the lengthy time the blast perpetrator spent in New Delhi before detonating the explosive.

"The vehicle was captured on security cameras entering from the Faridabad border around 8:15 a.m., and it was spotted in the parking area near a mosque for a significant period prior to the explosion," Krishan elaborated.

The investigation points towards Umar Nabi, who, if he was indeed the driver, may have been obliterated in the blast.

There is also a "plausible theory" suggesting that he was receiving instructions from a handler, having potentially panicked after the Faridabad raids that exposed a large stockpile of explosives and details about the terror module.

What began as a minor incident involving terror posters in Srinagar escalated into a major terror bust in Faridabad, where medical professionals were found hoarding 350 kg of explosives and AK-47 rifles.

This incident is now being correlated with the Delhi Red Fort explosion, which resulted in at least eight fatalities and numerous injuries, revealing a transnational terror network involving Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind operatives.

On October 27, police in Srinagar apprehended individuals disseminating Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) posters in public areas. Among those arrested was Adil Ahmed Rather, a senior resident doctor from Government Medical College in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police, with assistance from the Special Operations Group (SOG), detained Rather and another medical professional from Saharanpur and Allahabad, respectively.

A case was filed under the Arms Act and various sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

Rather's detention in Uttar Pradesh on November 6 led investigators to a broader network of professionals—doctors and clerics—serving as local operatives for terror organizations.

Following leads from the Kashmir arrests, Jammu and Kashmir Police and Haryana Police conducted a raid in a rented house in Dhauj village, recovering large amounts of ammonium nitrate, weaponry, and significant quantities of ammunition.

Authorities suspect that these explosives were being prepared for large-scale attacks, with the timing of the bust and the Red Fort blast indicating a coordinated terror plan targeting Delhi.

With news of the investigations circulating across social and traditional media, Umar Nabi may have realized that the pressure was mounting around him and his associates, highlighting the recruitment of educated professionals by terror groups to avoid detection.

Officials believe the Faridabad operation averted a larger disaster, potentially a series of synchronized explosions in major cities, including the national capital.

This incident underscores the importance of early intelligence and inter-state collaboration in thwarting devastating plots, while the extensive media coverage may have alerted the remaining members of the group.
