00:00The blast near Delhi's Red Fort on Monday is an heinous act of terror, is what the Cabinet Committee of Security Affairs has declared.
00:10That's our top focus this hour. Hello everyone, you're watching NewsTrack with me, Maria Chakil. The headlines.
00:17Red Fort blasts an act of terror. Cabinet Committee on Security issues a statement. Government terms it a senseless act of terror.
00:30Delhi police sees a red eco-sport car from Haryana. Farmhouse after massive manhunt, NSG FSL team reached spot. Car was registered in the name of suspected suicide bomber, Umar.
00:49Access My India exit poll gives clear edge to the NDA in Bihar, reaffirms Nitish to be the biggest draw for the Mahila voters.
00:59But Mahagat Bandhan scores big among the Yuva voters. Prashant Kishore expected to make no impact.
01:11After almost two decades in jail, Nathari case co-accused Rinder Kohli walks out a free man after being acquitted in the last pending case by the Supreme Court yesterday.
01:23Portugal striker Ronaldo has confirmed the 2026 World Cup will be his last.
01:33And we are starting with some piece of breaking news which is coming in now. The Red Fort terror attack probe has now widened.
02:01Faridabad police has detained one more suspect. Suspect has been held from a village in Haryana and cops have detained another suspect in Delhi terror blast.
02:13So this entire ring or the web that we are talking about now is a sinister plot that is clear now and more detentions continue to happen.
02:24This time it has been done by the Haryana police from a village called Khandavali in Haryana.
02:31Let me bring in Shreya Chatterjee who is joining us live.
02:34Live, Shreya, what exactly is the role of the new person who has been now arrested by the Faridabad police?
02:43Well, this particular arrest that we right now see is in connection to the same terror module that is being investigated by largely the NIA.
02:54Because NIA will be investigating it as the case has been handed over. But Faridabad police and Delhi police is also assisting the National Investigative Agency.
03:03Apart from that, you know, Maria, what is also important today was that red EcoSport car because that raised quite some eyebrows.
03:12It was also registered on the name of Umar Unnabhi, the terror accused, the one who blasted that I-20 car.
03:19He had a second car in his name. That was a miss for quite some time.
03:22It was finally traced back to Khandavali village, where right now, as we talk, the CFSL and the NSG is detecting that team of bomb squad is there.
03:31Once that car is found perfect without any kind of ammunition, it will be taken in the possession of the Faridabad police.
03:39And Simon Dinesley today, one more development also took place. The NIA team visiting Al-Falla University.
03:45All right. So all these now linked to Red EcoSport, which has been traced and found, and it is believed to be linked to the suspects two days after the blast.
03:58And this is now aiding this entire investigation trail, which is happening.
04:03So it begins with one Hyundai i-20, which is actually used for that suicide bombing.
04:10And now there is another car in focus. This one is a Red Ford EcoSport.
04:17Shreya, appreciate your time.
04:20The Red Ford blast is now officially being classified as a terror attack.
04:26This declaration came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a crucial CCS meeting,
04:32followed by a separate huddle with Home Minister Amit Shah and National Security Advisor Ajit Dawal.
04:37The Modi government has once again made it clear that it stands by its zero-tolerance policy on terror,
04:45vowing swift justice for the victims.
04:48An act of terror is an act of war.
04:50So what's next for the national capital?
04:53And what will be Modi government's next move?
04:57We'll ask these questions to our panelists who will be joining me shortly.
05:01But first up, the report.
05:07Delhi is scarred, lives shattered.
05:15And make no mistake about it, the national capital is under the shadow of terror.
05:21It's a word that has been used officially by the government after the Cabinet Committee of Security
05:26met and issued a statement categorically condemning the Red Ford blast as an act of terror.
05:33After the meeting, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav briefed the media,
05:38making the government's stand of zero-tolerance to terror loud and clear.
05:43The Cabinet reiterates India's unwavering commitment to a policy of zero-tolerance
05:51towards terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
05:55The emphatic statement underscored the Prime Minister's focus on ensuring justice for the victims
06:02by holding another meeting with the Home Minister and their NSA right after the CCS meeting.
06:09Earlier, the Prime Minister, after returning from Bruton,
06:12had gone straight to the LNJP hospital to meet the injured victims.
06:16He walked through wards, personally spoke to the victims and their families and gave them his reassurances.
06:40Doctors and officials updated him on the condition of those injured.
06:44Soon after the meeting, the Prime Minister vowed justice.
06:49As Delhi moans and investigators tighten the net around the suspected white-collar terror module,
06:55the message from the Prime Minister is clear.
06:57Justice will be swift and terror will find no refuge.
07:02Bureau Report, India Today.
07:05And Aishwarya Paliwal was tracking the CCS for us and she joins us live.
07:12The Cabinet has adopted a resolution and it has said that the country has witnessed a heinous terror incident
07:20perpetrated by anti-national forces through a car explosion near the Red Fort on evening of 10th of November 2025.
07:30This is for the first time the government has said this is an act of terror.
07:35Of course, the indication was when the National Investigation Agency took charge of the entire investigation.
07:41When the Prime Minister and the Home Minister and National Security Advisor met after the CCS got over,
07:47what are you picking up?
07:48What exactly is going to be the response of the government?
07:50Well, you know, Maria, this is very, very important because now we are seeing a formal statement coming in from the government
07:57where they are seeing that this isn't an act of terror.
08:00Now, whether they are pointing fingers at Pakistan or they are pointing fingers at other players,
08:05now that is something which we need to wait and watch.
08:08The next 24 to 48 hours, Maria, let me tell you, are extremely crucial.
08:12The government's response will be very swift.
08:14And that's the reason, even though Prime Minister Modi was in Bhutan,
08:17we did see how he was constantly being updated about the investigations back home by Home Minister Amit Shah.
08:23Constant reports were being given to Prime Minister Naira Modi.
08:27And all those reports and what has come to the fore so far,
08:32all those things were put in front of the CCS today.
08:35The members were told exactly what is happening.
08:37In fact, the meeting, let me tell you, the most crucial meeting of the day
08:41was the meeting that Prime Minister Modi had with Home Minister Amit Shah
08:44and with the NSA, Ajit Doval.
08:46They almost sat for close to 30 minutes.
08:49The next course of action is now being looked at what India needs to do to protect itself
08:54and a befitting response that needs to be given for what has happened right in the national capital
08:59is something that the government at the moment is working on.
09:01Ashwarya, I really appreciate your time. Thank you for joining us.
09:05Vikram Singh, former DGP, joins us now.
09:07Dr. Tara Kartham is a terrorism and security expert.
09:11We have Mayor General Sanjay Maston joining us, who is a defence analyst.
09:15Arvind Kumar Jain is former DGP of Uttar Pradesh, PK Jain.
09:19Former ADGP is joining us as well.
09:24I'm going to begin with you, Vikram Singh.
09:26You've seen the response of the government.
09:28You've heard from various agencies.
09:31We are looking at 48 hours after the blast.
09:34What are your thoughts, sir?
09:34Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
09:38The defence doctrine seems to be more reinforced than ever, with a tough, no-nonsense and a clear message.
09:44And the posturing that is so necessary in international terms, make no mistake about it, Maria,
09:49it's very seldom that the prime minister speaks in Hindi and then translates his word into English,
09:54not for the Indian audience which is in Hindi, but for the world audience in English.
09:59Therefore, there is a clarity that it is a terror act, number one.
10:03There are sumptuous takeaways in this brief address that it is a terror attack.
10:08Number two, there will be consequences and the perpetrators will be pursued to the last and pursued very, very vigorously.
10:15Therefore, the defence doctrine is very clear.
10:17And, of course, it is on the similar lines that after Operation Sindur, there was a declaration that any act of terror will be treated as an act of war and it will be repulsed in equal measure.
10:31Therefore, I feel it is a matter of tremendous satisfaction for all of us Indians, in India and elsewhere,
10:36that a defence doctrine giving a befitting reply indicates that a resolute nation is standing behind to give a befitting reply to the terrorists,
10:46wherever they may be, whether Jais-e-Mohammed or wherever in the world they are, they should not feel safe and secure.
10:52Okay. So, in terms of the investigation so far, Mr. Jain, how are you viewing the direction of the investigation?
11:01You're asking me?
11:06Yes, sir, please go ahead.
11:08Yeah. Investigation has been recently taken over by NIA.
11:12Once investigation is taken over by NIA, it's absolutely clear that government thinks that it's an act of terror.
11:22And the Cabinet Committee on Security, CCS, has also briefed the media that it's being treated as an act of terror.
11:33Prime Minister has taken it very seriously. Home Minister has taken it very seriously.
11:38I have never seen such quick response from senior officials, senior most officials of various intelligence agencies.
11:45They were all on the ground. Home Minister was also there.
11:49So, action is being taken. Raids are being conducted throughout the country.
11:53In UPIC, raids are being carried out by ATS at a number of places, and there have been several detentions also.
12:00JNK, massive raids are going on, I'm told, at 300 places, and people are being detained.
12:06So, befitting reply is being given to the incident, and I think within four or five days, picture will be clear,
12:15and all the players involved in this, they will be behind bars.
12:19It's very unfortunate that well-dread people, MDs and BBS, they are involved in this type of ghastly incident.
12:29Luckily, because of initiative taken by JNK police, Shirnagar civil police, the entire gang was busted.
12:44Raids were carried out at Faridabad.
12:47Otherwise, I think there would have been several blasts at several places in the country,
12:54either on 26-11 or on 6th December or 26th January.
13:00Preparations were going on for massive attacks at several places.
13:06So, thanks to JNK police, Haryana police, action has been taken.
13:13But unfortunately, there was one blast near at Fort.
13:18It will have to be verified whether it was accidental or he acted as a fedain.
13:23But I think things will be clear in a day or two.
13:26Okay, Dr. Tadakarta, former Director of National Security Council Secretariat.
13:32Ma'am, if you look at what's becoming evidently clear is that there was a larger conspiracy,
13:38and of course, this blast which happened near Red Fort was more like a panic attack.
13:45It was triggered by all the arrests and the detentions which had happened earlier that day
13:51by various agencies, as we have been talking about the white-collar terror module right now.
13:57But when you look at what has been going on behind the scenes,
14:02the series of state coordination, the series of multi-agency coordination,
14:08what are you sensing is, you know, the larger sinister plot as it unravels?
14:15See, one thing which struck me, and I mean, this was as of the day before,
14:19was that this has been going on for some time, this plotting.
14:23I mean, it is apparently at least more than two years old.
14:26So, if we are looking at it in that case, it is not really much to do with Sindhu,
14:31its aftermath, it's not really linked to that.
14:34Number two is, it's a radicalized outfit.
14:38Radicalization is a cell which is the most difficult to unravel.
14:42You can unravel a tight terrorist plot, but radicalism is very, very difficult
14:47to find out where these veins of poison go through.
14:50That is number two.
14:51But number three, in terms of action, I think this action by the agencies was brilliant.
14:57This kind of coordination, to be honest, we've rarely seen from one police to the others
15:03across state boundaries, they have actually managed to nab these people.
15:08But now comes the difficult part, is to see where, how did they get this ammonium nitrate together.
15:14Number two, is there more of it?
15:16And the way it looks, it looks like there is more, you know, which has been stashed away somewhere.
15:22Are there other people involved?
15:24Which is also likely, I'm happy to see that there is a bunch of,
15:27well, in going on even in my own home state, there is, there is a, I think, various initiatives
15:34being taken.
15:35It could really emerge pretty much anywhere.
15:38So this was clearly a very long, well thought out, indoctrinated and put in place for a really
15:46large attack.
15:47So we must be extremely grateful to the agencies for finding this out and nipping this in the
15:54bud.
15:54So far, it seems it's all within the country.
15:58Nothing has been seen from outside, but it's early days.
16:01Okay.
16:02Mayor General Sanjay Meston, your thoughts on this.
16:06The authorities have traced and found a very important link, which is the red Ford EcoSport.
16:13Because, you know, the fear was that are there similar such cars, one I-20, another one
16:18EcoSport, which is moving around, as the entire plot is being linked now to their larger plan,
16:26which was to cause a huge impact on 6th of December.
16:32Yeah, Maria, very true.
16:35Firstly, let's be clear.
16:37I think their plans were very, very clear to carry out a major strike in Delhi and Sierra
16:41and in most parts of the country.
16:42And this was their intended aim.
16:44And the fact that they had procured 2,900 kgs of ammonium nitrate over a period of time,
16:50and I do agree, I think it was over a period of two years, and they were bringing in small
16:54consignment.
16:55So, there are a large number of issues which are of concern.
16:57Firstly, from where have they been able to procure such amount of ammonium nitrate?
17:03Obviously, today it is commercially available.
17:06It is used in construction activities.
17:07It is used in mining.
17:09So, somewhere we have faltered.
17:11I think the security drills have to be very, very taped up.
17:14Number two, Al-Fala University.
17:17You know, arms are being found.
17:19The explosives are being found.
17:20People are being entering.
17:21And I think in one of the lockers, AK-47 were being found.
17:26What does it indicate?
17:27The security personnel who are deployed in the university campus, were they sleeping?
17:32So, this is another thing.
17:34So, I think there are a far number of leads.
17:37And I personally feel this person, Dr. Umar, he was very, very instrumental.
17:42And I think my assessment is that probably this guy knew so much, as it is the number of people
17:50who were caught right from October, mid-October onwards.
17:54I think they have given a lot of information.
17:56And that is how the Umar was also being traced.
18:00So, therefore, it proves that there are many more handlers in this.
18:03There are many more perpetrators.
18:05And they are noitering around.
18:06And the fact, each minute, a lot of things are being unraveled.
18:10So, I think the first priority of the government of India, and obviously the NIA, would be to go into minutest details,
18:18find out even those two guys who were at the gas station, who sat down in the vehicle for some time,
18:23and then they came out, I think the role of those two people have to be found out.
18:29And perhaps there is a possibility that Umar, when he was in that area, I think he was not contemplating a suicide kind of an attack.
18:38Because, you know, when I was in Afghanistan, I have seen once a person decides on a suicide attack,
18:43thereafter, the way his brain was, then he just goes for the mission.
18:47In this case, he was almost there for three and a half hours in the masjid parking area.
18:52So, he was contemplating something, and what he could have been contemplating, definitely not a suicide.
18:57He would have been contemplating now that he is going to be cornered,
19:00and the fact that JNK police had stated that you will be caught, and you surrender.
19:04So, he would have come to know that he is on the, he will be chased and caught.
19:09So, I think his handlers would have ensured that he died, because in case he would have been captured live,
19:15perhaps he would have revealed so many other things.
19:17So, his existence was a, it was an existential threat to the entire network, and therefore, they have eliminated this threat.
19:25So, anyway, the fact of the matter is, perhaps he could have been detonated by remote control,
19:30and I have seen enough of these in Afghanistan.
19:32And even there are a large number of issues that, you know, there were no critters.
19:37So, my feeling is, probably the explosive may have been kept in the rear seat for all, you know, itself.
19:42Those two people who have boarded the vehicle and then de-boarded somewhere,
19:47perhaps they may have kept it somewhere, knowing that this person, perhaps may even surrender or will be caught,
19:53and he will give out a lot of leads.
19:55So, the issue is, the government of India, as on date, and the way, even now, the raids have happened in Assam,
20:01a lot of people are being caught.
20:03So, I think in every state, the way we have inter-state coordination under the central government,
20:09and hats off, of course, to the JNK police, they are the start point.
20:12So, things will be unraveled.
20:15First and foremost, we have to get the lead out and the role of Jayser, and including of Turkey.
20:19You know, mapping of various roles and affiliations, which is all tied to Alphala,
20:28and allied networks becomes important.
20:30Continue to be with us.
20:31Let me break a piece of an important information which came earlier today,
20:36which is with regards to Dr. Umar Nabi's big Babri anniversary plan.
20:41What was this?
20:42Sources have told India Today that Dr. Umar Nabi, also now known as Dr. Death,
20:47was plotting a major bomb attack in Delhi.
20:52When was this attack planned?
20:54December 6th, the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition.
20:58The attack was dubbed a revenge date, and aimed at maximizing impact,
21:04targeting high footfall areas across central Delhi.
21:09So, they were planning multiple bombings on that particular day.
21:12Investigators, in fact, believe that the plan was finalized after Umar's visit to Turkey,
21:20where he reportedly received orders from Jaish-e-Mohammed handlers.
21:25This becomes important because many would say, Vikram Singh,
21:30that India has moved ahead from what happened in 1992,
21:34particularly because there is a Ram temple in Ayodhya.
21:41So, why is it that these relatively young doctors are talking about an event
21:48where India has moved ahead?
21:50There is a consecration ceremony of Ram temple which has happened,
21:53and the entire country rejoiced.
21:55Maria, you seem to be living only with the very decent people,
22:00those who have a right frame of mind.
22:03Aravind Jai and I move around with people, all kinds of people,
22:06the devious, the not-so-devious, the good, bad, and the ugly.
22:09There are doors amongst us who say that when the time comes,
22:12we will demolish the Ram temple and rebuild the mosque there,
22:15and it's not just one person,
22:17and you may have encountered these people during the course of your show.
22:20I will not take names.
22:22But therefore, it takes all sorts to make this world.
22:23Therefore, one has to be prepared for a worst-case scenario.
22:27And the youngsters, yes, you are very right,
22:29the youngsters would not even know what happened in 1992, 6th of 1992,
22:33but they obviously have been radicalised and indoctrinated.
22:37And when you say, you use the word Al-Fala,
22:39Al-Fala University seems to be the epicentre of radicalisation,
22:43and I really don't know how they allowed the grass to grow underneath their feet.
22:47The youngsters, again, the VC has the audacity to say that we have nothing to do with that.
22:51Well, how do you explain the swift desire with an automatic AK-47,
22:5584 rounds and Beretta pistols in mint condition,
22:58as also almost all the doctors seem to have some link with Al-Fala University.
23:04To the contrary, there is Dr. Nisarul Hassan dismissed from service in November 1993
23:10by the governor's orders under the constitutional provision of 311 for anti-national activity.
23:15He was hired by Al-Fala University in the middle college.
23:18What were their compulsions? Therefore, there are so many things that we need to watch,
23:22these young doctors, these professionals.
23:24And the three dimensions that have emerged now,
23:27that what worked yesterday will not work today, Maria.
23:29In these dimensions, you have white-collar terror modules,
23:33vehicle-born IEDs, and then you have Jamaatul-Ul-Mumina,
23:38the women's wing of the Jaish-e-Muhammad.
23:40Therefore, these dimensions, you're very right.
23:42But, Vikram Singh, a white-collar act of terrorism is not new.
23:49It has happened in the past as well,
23:51that those who are on the foreground are professionals,
23:56they are accomplished people.
23:59Very much.
24:00Osama bin Laden himself was a technocrat.
24:02Yes.
24:02We have seen IIT pass-outs attacking the Gorakhnav temple.
24:06And we have also seen IIT pass-outs and those with foreign diplomas and degrees
24:10also indulging.
24:12But they are more by way of exception, not as well by the rule.
24:16By an large, 90% are those who are the madrasa-type pass-outs and the jihadi mindset.
24:21But in this case, I think it was a bit of reverse engineering
24:24that they were under the malignant influence of two maulanas,
24:28maulana Irfan and maulana Istiaq.
24:32These two maulanas, one of Shopeyan and the other of Faridabad.
24:35I think this malignancy was injected into these doctors and medical practitioners,
24:41which should never have happened.
24:42I thought they would have better sense of do's, norms, do's and do's,
24:47rather than be impacted by the negative influence of the jihadi maulanas.
24:51Dr. Tarakarta, your thoughts of the larger plan, which is now being unravelled,
24:58all this being linked to a particular date,
25:02a date many would say that India has moved on from.
25:05But these are radicalized youth who are still frozen in time.
25:09They are talking about 6th of December, bringing back those memories again.
25:14They were hoping to.
25:16And of course, it has been now foiled.
25:18Maria, actually, that was a good question.
25:22Even I wondered until I checked.
25:24And this Jaish has been repeatedly raising this issue.
25:27They've been raising it over the years.
25:29And if I remember right, somewhere mid last year.
25:33Yes.
25:33Then Mathu Dazar had also raised this issue.
25:36And he said, when is Babri Masjid going to be liberated?
25:38So they've been using this as a sort of a rally cry,
25:43which most of us ignored because, like you said, for us, it was an old issue.
25:47We never bothered about it.
25:48That is a lesson which we need to learn and which a lot of terrorism specialists,
25:54even the U.S. will tell you now, after learning lessons, that dates are important.
26:00When you have certain dates which are important to the terrorists,
26:04you better look at those dates.
26:05So I think this is something we need to sort of shake a lethargy
26:11and look at what else is going to come up on the radar.
26:14But I do also want to add something here is that,
26:18you see, Turkey has been used by, you know, the Pakistanis
26:23and a lot of people for other countries also as a meeting point,
26:28even on plots in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
26:31It does not mean that Turkey itself is involved,
26:34but there is, you know, these people are adept at using various countries
26:40and then trying to spoil your relations with them.
26:44So that is a caution we need to keep in mind.
26:47And the last thing is, these, I mean, the fact that they're doctors,
26:53I mean, that is what, at least for me, hit me the most.
26:56These are supposed to be healers.
26:57And in this, the terrorists who were in, who died in JNK, etc.,
27:04these Pakistanis normally give their children a hospital, you know,
27:08a seat in hospitals.
27:10I'm wondering if there is some kind of a link here.
27:14Because why doctors?
27:16You know, it doesn't make sense.
27:18I think we need to look at that a little more.
27:20Okay.
27:20Okay, so let's talk about that date,
27:23where they were planning the larger conspiracy.
27:26They were planning to, you know,
27:30attack multiple places in the NCR on 6th of December.
27:35Major General Sanjay Meston, your views on that?
27:40See, 6th December, I recollect when I was in Afghanistan,
27:43and I think you have asked a very pertinent question,
27:45and even Dr. Kartha also mentioned about it.
27:49See, in Afghanistan, radicalization used to be done
27:53by constantly showing them the demolition of Babri Masjid.
27:57And this is, I came to know from the Taliban
28:00and all these people who are trained there,
28:02because this is the first thing, how the indoctrination is done.
28:06So these people are shown these videos constantly,
28:08and anything which is anti-Islam,
28:11which they consider actually anti-Islam,
28:13maybe in India, you know, there is no end to that.
28:16They can present anything in such a way.
28:20So these kind of videos are showing constantly,
28:22and that hits their psyche, because they are seeing it.
28:24Though a point came out by Mr. Vikram
28:27that they would have been youngsters that time,
28:30but yet, you know, trying to show that
28:32this was demolished by Indians,
28:36and that was such a great masjid.
28:39And, you know, this is what they have been doing, radicalization.
28:42So, yes, I exactly agree with Dr. Kartha
28:46that dates today become very, very significant.
28:49And therefore, 6th December,
28:51obviously, the Babri Masjid demolition,
28:53that indoctrination,
28:54so that revenge factor comes in.
28:55And also, I think, if I'm not wrong,
29:01President Putin has also planned his visit somewhere in December.
29:05So maybe that it sends a very strong message.
29:08So there are certain linkages,
29:10and obviously, the larger terror plot
29:12was to be executed later.
29:13And that is how this 2,900 kgs of ammonium nitrate,
29:17and I'm quite sure,
29:18there are more of it to be found and located,
29:21the way this ECO car has also been found.
29:22So the fact of the matter is,
29:24radicalization is happening,
29:26indoctrination is happening,
29:27and let's not be surprised,
29:29even a lot of women carters
29:30may have been already radicalized.
29:32That is how this lady was nominated.
29:34Yes, and radicalization, as you said,
29:37you and Dr. Tara Kartha both pointed out,
29:39is being done
29:40by showing those images of demolition of the Babri Mosque.
29:45So, Arvind Jain,
29:46this is going to be a huge challenge,
29:48because if there are educated youth,
29:50you know, getting such sharp ideas,
29:55which is actually anti-country,
29:58anti-India,
29:59then it has to be addressed.
30:02Yes, you are absolutely correct.
30:05And it is very much a reality
30:09that youth amongst a particular community,
30:15they are being radicalized.
30:18At madrasa level,
30:19they are being radicalized.
30:20At masjid level,
30:21they are being radicalized.
30:22I have been SSP Faizabad
30:24before the demolition took place.
30:28I was there.
30:30Hardly,
30:30there were hardly a few families in Ayodhya,
30:34Muslim families staying there.
30:36And nobody used to go and offer namaz there.
30:41So,
30:42there are hardly a few families.
30:44Some people,
30:45some people used to come from Faizabad
30:47to offer namaz.
30:49And for years and years,
30:51prayers were going on by Hindus.
30:53It had almost been written off for Muslims.
30:56I don't know why there is so much of issue
31:00because of Ayodhya demolition.
31:05Because it is laid down in Islamic,
31:09this thing that once prayers have been offered by Hindus,
31:12they can't offer namaz at that place.
31:16So,
31:16it makes no sense.
31:18But still,
31:19just to keep that issue alive,
31:20they keep on harping on it
31:22that our,
31:24our masjid,
31:26Shaheed Kardi,
31:27there was no mosque
31:29because prayers were going on
31:31for so many years at that place.
31:33Anyway,
31:34but this is a,
31:35this is a big challenge
31:37for security agencies,
31:40for police forces.
31:40And if this is a Fedayeen attack,
31:43as it is being projected
31:44at,
31:45at Red Fort,
31:47then it is all the more serious
31:49because Fedayeen attack
31:50has not taken place in the country
31:52for so,
31:53so many years.
31:54And I think Bain Singh,
31:56Bain Singh assassination
31:57was the last one.
31:58So,
32:00it will be,
32:01the task,
32:02a task will become
32:03all the more difficult
32:04for security agencies.
32:05Sir,
32:05there is a piece of breaking news
32:06coming in
32:06and I'll come back
32:07to all the guests
32:09who are joining us
32:10after breaking this news.
32:12Sources are telling India today
32:13that in raids
32:14that were conducted,
32:15nearly 100 people
32:17were rounded up
32:18for questioning
32:19from different parts
32:20of Kashmir.
32:21Names are,
32:22of course,
32:22not being shared
32:23and rightly so
32:24till the time
32:25their roles are known.
32:27Those not found
32:28to be involved
32:29will be allowed
32:30to go back
32:31is the message
32:33coming in
32:33from security agencies.
32:35There is a big
32:35crackdown
32:36which has happened
32:37in Jamin Kashmir.
32:39In another time,
32:40Umar and Muzamil
32:42went to Turkey
32:43in 2022
32:44and met
32:45their handlers there.
32:47It is around
32:48this time
32:48that they had
32:49also joined
32:50Telegram.
32:51So,
32:51it's becoming clear
32:52increasingly
32:53about the entire
32:54timeline.
32:56Umar and Muzamil
32:57went to Turkey
32:58in 2022.
32:59It's three years
33:00later that Dr.
33:01Umar
33:01actually becomes
33:03a Fidayin
33:03and Muzamil
33:04is thereafter
33:05arrested.
33:06It is in Turkey
33:07that they met
33:08their handlers
33:09Jaish-e-Mohammad
33:10and hence
33:11the entire timeline
33:12becomes clear.
33:14So,
33:15raids being conducted
33:16in different parts
33:16of India,
33:17several questioning
33:19happening
33:20by various
33:21police agencies
33:22from Jamin Kashmir
33:23to Haryana police
33:25to Delhi police.
33:26When we look at
33:26the nature of
33:27investigation,
33:28Vikram Singh
33:28is becoming
33:29increasingly clear
33:30that Dr. Umar
33:32who was the
33:34suicide bomber
33:34actually met,
33:37got the first
33:38round of instructions
33:40in 2022.
33:42Precisely,
33:43it dates back
33:43to 2022
33:44when Dr. Umar
33:46went to Turkey
33:47for the first time
33:47and then he met
33:48his handlers
33:49and the rest
33:50is history.
33:51He was programmed,
33:52he was funded
33:53and financed
33:53because a lot of
33:54questions are emerging
33:55who was responsible
33:57for funding so much
33:58and giving precise
33:59instructions for the
34:00storage of ammonium
34:01nitrate.
34:02This level of
34:02ammonium nitrate
34:03cannot be taken
34:04in a bag,
34:05in the pocket
34:05or in a car boot.
34:07Obviously,
34:08meticulous plans
34:09were made
34:10to transport
34:113,000 kilograms
34:12of ammonium nitrate
34:14contravening
34:15all the basic
34:16laws of ammonium
34:17nitrate storage
34:18rules
34:182012
34:20in the backdrop
34:22of Indian
34:22Explosives Act
34:231884
34:24and therefore
34:25I would say
34:26that they had
34:26studied the rules,
34:27they studied the
34:28regulations
34:28and then found
34:29escape routes
34:30and also
34:31were able
34:32to penetrate
34:32the system
34:33so that the
34:33storage was
34:34possible
34:34and also
34:35Mohamed Umar
34:36was also
34:37programmed
34:38to prepare
34:39200 IED
34:41explosives
34:41and the 200
34:42would mean
34:43that what we
34:44saw just was
34:45a small trailer,
34:46not even the
34:46full trailer,
34:47a small preview
34:48of what could
34:49have possibly
34:50been a catastrophe
34:51or an
34:52unmitigated
34:52disaster
34:53if even a
34:54fraction of
34:55those 200
34:55IEDs were
34:56blasted,
34:57therefore I would
34:57say it needs
34:58to be worked
34:59out,
34:59it is a
34:59matter of
35:00satisfaction
35:00that the
35:01investigation
35:01is going
35:02in full
35:03swing,
35:03people are
35:04being picked
35:04up for
35:05thorough
35:05interrogation
35:05and one
35:06good
35:06interrogation
35:09would lead
35:09to a
35:09goldmine of
35:10information
35:11would again
35:11lead to
35:12follow up
35:12use of
35:13technology
35:13like
35:14polygraph
35:14tests,
35:15narco
35:15analysis,
35:16brain mapping
35:16and I'm
35:17sure the
35:18analysis of
35:18the phone
35:19calls and
35:19the crypto
35:20apps as
35:21also the
35:22telegram chats
35:23would yield a
35:23goldmine of
35:24information and
35:25actionable
35:25intelligence too.
35:27Okay,
35:27continue to be
35:28with us
35:28because the
35:29spotlight is
35:29also on this
35:30eco-sport car.
35:32From an
35:33I-20,
35:34the spotlight
35:34remember has
35:35now shifted
35:36to a red
35:36Ford eco-sport
35:38which has been
35:39seized from
35:39Haryana and
35:41could now be the
35:41missing link in a
35:43deadly conspiracy.
35:44It is believed to
35:45have been owned by
35:46the alleged bomber
35:47Dr.
35:48Umar
35:48Nabi.
35:49this eco-sport is
35:51raising chilling
35:52questions.
35:53Was it a
35:54getaway car,
35:55a second
35:56bomb vehicle
35:57or part of a
35:58larger terror
35:59plan?
35:59Take a look at
36:00this report and
36:01then I'll get
36:01the guests
36:02again.
36:02one deadly blast,
36:13one chariot of
36:15death, or was it
36:17two?
36:18So far,
36:19investigators had
36:20focused on an
36:20I-20 car at the
36:22center of the
36:22probe.
36:23But now, a red
36:25Ford eco-sport
36:26seized by the
36:26Haryana police has
36:27emerged as a key
36:28piece in the
36:29Delhi blast
36:29investigation.
36:31The eco-sport,
36:32reportedly owned
36:32by Delhi blast
36:33bomber Dr.
36:34Umar
36:34Al-Nabi, was
36:36found parked
36:36near the
36:37Khanda Villa
36:37village in
36:38Haryana, just
36:39hours after the
36:40police launched
36:41a massive hunt
36:42for the vehicle.
36:43Following its
36:44seizure, the car
36:45was cordoned off
36:46and a team of
36:47experts is now
36:47examining it for
36:49possible weapons
36:50or explosives.
36:59The red
37:19eco-sport carries
37:20the registration
37:21number DL10CK0458
37:24and was registered
37:25in Umar's name
37:26at the Rajhori
37:27Garden RTO
37:28on November
37:2922nd, 2017.
37:32Umar was the
37:32second owner
37:33of the car.
37:34Investigators say
37:35he used a fake
37:36address in
37:36Nauti's Delhi
37:37to purchase the
37:38vehicle, prompting
37:40police to raid
37:40that location.
37:54authorities believe
38:12that the eco-sport
38:13may have been used
38:14as a secondary
38:14vehicle in the
38:15operation.
38:16However, the
38:17questions remain.
38:18What was the
38:19intended plan?
38:20Was a bigger
38:21attack being
38:21plotted?
38:22And were these
38:23so-called
38:24doctors of death
38:24planning to use
38:25multiple vehicles
38:26in the attack?
38:28With Arvind Oja,
38:29Munish Pandey and
38:30Ifrar in Delhi,
38:31Bureau Report,
38:32India Today.
38:34The authorities
38:35now have traced
38:36and found this
38:37red Ford
38:38eco-sport,
38:39which is believed
38:40to be linked
38:41to the suicide
38:42bomber and also
38:43could be an
38:45important piece
38:46of investigation
38:47trail.
38:49Mr. PK Jain
38:50joins us now.
38:51Mr. Jain,
38:51it's becoming
38:52clear that
38:53the plot
38:54which was far
38:55more sinister
38:56than what
38:56we have seen
38:57two days ago
38:58was about
38:59using multiple
39:00vehicles.
39:04Maria,
39:05the writing
39:06is clear
39:06on the wall.
39:083,400 kilos
39:10of explosive
39:10material,
39:13AK-47
39:13or AK-56
39:14rifles,
39:15Glock
39:15pistols
39:16and ammunition,
39:18a lot of
39:19ammunition,
39:20other material,
39:21timers,
39:22detonators.
39:23The writing
39:24is absolutely
39:25clear.
39:25It was not
39:25a small plan.
39:27It was a
39:27major plan
39:28to create
39:29major security
39:30issues and
39:31cause bomb
39:32blasts across
39:33the country.
39:34Now,
39:35NCR apparently
39:36was one of the
39:37areas in target
39:38at the moment.
39:39See,
39:39this particular
39:40car which has
39:41been now found,
39:42it seems that
39:43the same car,
39:44there was a
39:44rumor on the
39:45first day of
39:45the blast itself
39:46that 3,400
39:49kilos of
39:49explosive material
39:50has been
39:51collected or
39:51brought from
39:52somewhere.
39:53Rifles have
39:54been brought
39:54from somewhere.
39:55So,
39:55this particular
39:56car apparently
39:56was used to
39:57ferry the
39:58material between
39:59Kashmir and
40:01Faridabad.
40:03And it was
40:04parked separately.
40:05It was probably
40:06not to be a
40:07part of the
40:07explosion for
40:10the simple
40:10reason that the
40:11car was registered
40:12in the name of
40:13one of the
40:13perpetrators.
40:14One thing also
40:15which clearly
40:15comes out from
40:16your narrative
40:17just now is
40:17the car was
40:18purchased by
40:19Dr. Romer in
40:192017.
40:21So,
40:21you can imagine
40:22how long back
40:23the entire
40:24conspiracy and
40:25planning was
40:25going on.
40:27Now,
40:27it is only
40:27fortunate for
40:28the country,
40:29the security
40:29forces have
40:30at least
40:30temporarily
40:31blocked all
40:32attempts on
40:32the part of
40:33these terrorists
40:34from causing
40:35damage in the
40:36country and at
40:37multiple locations.
40:38Our investigation
40:39is in progress.
40:40I would only
40:41hope that the
40:42investigators and
40:43the intelligence
40:44agencies like
40:45my senior and
40:48predecessor have
40:48just now said,
40:50the investigators
40:50are bound to
40:51reach the bottom
40:52of this case and
40:53they will dig out
40:54everything in terms
40:55of the CDRs,
40:57call connections,
40:59whichever people
40:59they were taking
41:00instructions from.
41:01There is also a
41:01rumor in the
41:03market that about
41:04seven of these
41:05perpetrators or
41:06part of this
41:07module are still
41:07absconding.
41:08besides the
41:09seven arrested
41:10and one dead,
41:11there are seven
41:11more who are
41:12absconding and
41:13they may be
41:14carrying some
41:14small quantities
41:15of explosive
41:16with them.
41:16They may not
41:17be, but they
41:17may also be.
41:18So, they
41:19also have to
41:19be arrested.
41:20So, I think
41:21we have to be
41:21on our guard,
41:22including the
41:22public.
41:23I would use
41:24your platform
41:24to caution the
41:26public also to
41:26be on their
41:27guard.
41:27Anybody taking
41:28a house or
41:29who has taken
41:30a house in
41:30your vicinity,
41:31just keep a
41:31watch.
41:32Be vigilant.
41:32Thank you,
41:34Maya.
41:34P.K. Jain,
41:34Dr. Tara
41:35Kartha,
41:35Major General
41:36Sanjay Meston
41:37continue to be
41:38with us.
41:38India's counter
41:39terror machinery
41:40has struck a
41:41major blow to
41:42terror networks,
41:44in fact,
41:44rattling groups
41:45from Jaisi
41:46Mohammed to
41:46ISIS.
41:48Authorities say
41:48these modules
41:49were planning not
41:51just conventional
41:51attacks, but also
41:52chemical terror
41:53plots involving
41:55ricin, a
41:56deadly, odorless,
41:58tasteless toxin
41:59with no
42:00antidote.
42:01Even tiny
42:02amounts can
42:03be fatal,
42:04making it one
42:05of the most
42:05dangerous
42:06substances known
42:07to man.
42:08The three
42:08arrests of
42:09Gujarat highlight
42:10both the
42:11evolving nature
42:12of terror
42:12threats in
42:12India and
42:13the critical
42:14role of
42:15vigilant
42:15intelligence and
42:16law enforcement.
42:18Should India
42:18then be
42:19prepared for
42:20a new-age
42:21bio-warfare?
42:22Take a look
42:22at this report.
42:23A successful
42:31Operation Sindur
42:33and rattled
42:35terror groups
42:36from Jaisi
42:38Mohammed to
42:39ISIS, all
42:42deeply troubled
42:43by the
42:43dismantling of
42:45terror modules
42:45on Indian
42:46soil.
42:47While Jaisi
42:49used Dr.
42:50Death and
42:51his colleagues
42:52to allegedly
42:53plan and
42:54execute the
42:54Red Fort
42:55Blast, ISIS
42:57planned a
42:57horrifying
42:58chemical terror
42:59plot.
43:00Just days
43:00ago, Gujarat
43:02anti-terror
43:02squad arrested
43:03three men,
43:05including a
43:06doctor with
43:06a Chinese
43:07medical degree,
43:09for allegedly
43:10trying to
43:10produce a
43:11lethal chemical
43:12compound called
43:14ricin.
43:16Meet
43:17Ahmed
43:17Mohyuddin,
43:19the very
43:19face of
43:20this unique
43:21terror plot.
43:23This doctor
43:23from Hyderabad
43:24was exploring
43:25ways to
43:26weaponise
43:27ricin.
43:28His alleged
43:29plan was to
43:30inject the
43:30toxin into
43:31fruits and
43:32vegetables and
43:33to poison food
43:34items sold in
43:35Hindu areas.
43:37The police
43:38say he
43:39allegedly surveyed
43:40Asia's largest
43:41wholesale fruit
43:43and vegetable
43:43market in
43:44Delhi, the
43:45Azadpur
43:46Mandi,
43:47Ahmedabad's
43:48Naroda fruit
43:49market, and
43:50the RSS
43:50office in
43:51Lucknow.
43:53These spots
43:53were chosen for
43:54their dense
43:55crowds and
43:56high public
43:56activity and
43:58were being
43:58considered as
43:59potential targets.
44:00it is essentially
44:22a protein that
44:23can be extracted
44:24from the
44:25castor bean.
44:26it has no smell and taste
44:29and is 600 times more dangerous than cyanide
44:33and there's no antidote for it
44:36needless to say
44:39the ease of producing the poison
44:41coupled with the very low doses
44:43needed to kill
44:45make it a challenge for law enforcement
44:48so is rise in the new bioweapon
44:51on the block threatening India
44:53should India be worried
44:56with Manjeet Negi
