Transcript

00:00And India Today's special investigation blows the lid of lax security and lax administration

00:06that makes you and I, the people of our country, so vulnerable to terror attacks

00:13like the terror attack at the Red Fort by a group of radical Islamist terrorist module of doctors

00:19from Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh and Haryam.

00:22The expose will show you how even after the Red Fort blast,

00:2615 people were killed, a large number injured.

00:31Even now, bomb-making material, ammonium nitrate, NPK, fuel oil, other bomb-making ingredients

00:40are so readily available over-the-counter in Nooh in Haryana, in Sonipath and in Faridabad

00:47with absolutely no security, no tightening of administrative control despite the blast.

00:53You can go and buy any quantity you want and the shopkeepers,

00:59on camera you will hear these shopkeepers say they will fudge data, they will fudge records,

01:04they will add documents just to fudge the records only if the price is right.

01:10We get to this India Today special investigation that shows you ammonium nitrate, fuel oil, NPK

01:17and other ingredients still available in large quantities and off-the-shelf in Haryana.

01:22India Today's undercover reporters, they travel to Nooh, they travel to Faridabad,

01:26they travel to Sonipath and you will see it all on camera, on video.

01:32So on a hidden camera, you will see and hear shopkeepers willing to sell

01:36large quantities of ammonium nitrate, NPK, fuel oil.

01:40All of this is in gross violation of rules, rules of 2012 that incidentally were updated in 2021.

01:48But the rules sadly remain confined only to the rule book.

01:53The question remains, what is the Haryana police doing?

01:56What is the administration doing?

01:58The suspected doctor's terror module, they were able to procure more than 2,600 kilograms of NPK

02:04and 1,000 kilograms of ammonium nitrate for multiple terror attacks that planned across the country.

02:12Now, India Today team, led by our undercover reporter Nitin Jain,

02:17we get you much more in this special, exclusive investigation.

02:21Investigators probing the Redford car bombing in Delhi claim that white-collar terrorists

02:38had managed to amass 2,600 kilograms of NPK and more than 1,000 kilograms of ammonium nitrate

02:45from the villages around the Alfala University in Haryana's Faridabad district.

02:51In the aftermath, probe agencies have sealed the sales records of fertilizer shops in Noo,

03:00Sona and Faridabad.

03:03But while the open sale of chemical fertilizers is prohibited,

03:07several outlets are selling them by fudging their records.

03:11Perhaps unaware that fertilizer chemicals like ammonium nitrate and urea

03:16are deadly when rigged with an IED.

03:18India Today's team went undercover to expose such outlets in Delhi, NCR and Haryana.

03:27We were surprised to find that within days of the Delhi blast,

03:30fertilizers like urea and NPK, fuel oil and explosives used in mining were easily available.

03:37These are the same ingredients used in the November 10th Redford blast.

03:42This is Suresh Fertilizer Store in Haryana's Akbarpur, Bharota,

03:55where we enquired about DAP and NPK fertilizers from shopkeeper Ritesh.

04:00Shopkeeper Ritesh showed us sacks of NPK to win our trust.

04:15M Food and 주세요.

04:20What's your name?

04:21Palm house.

04:22Okay.

04:23We will have to register for ready for that time?

04:26At the time of the program, the killer number is online.

04:31That's something like you, Delhi.

04:33And, what do we do?

04:35We are making two hundred and many hundred and many hundred.

04:37DAP is in the .

04:39We clarified to Ritesh that we did not have an Aadhaar card and that we needed to take

04:56the 20 bags of fertilizer to Delhi.

04:59Despite this, Ritesh struck a deal with us saying that he would show the sale against

05:03his own land holdings.

05:05Aadhaar card says that he would show the sale against his own land and his own land holdings.

05:33Next, we went to Sonepath in Haryana, where we met Chirag, who runs the Shiv agricultural

05:40store located in the Kundli area.

05:43The pattern here was the same, chemical fertilizers being sold openly.

06:03We told Chirag very clearly that we are from Delhi and that the fertilizers have to be

06:16taken to a farmhouse there.

06:19Chirag spoke to someone on the phone and he did not ask for any address or ID proof from

06:24us.

07:23Pampo described the properties of this explosive powder and also how it is used in stone quarries.

07:53The other ingredient needed for an improvised explosive device is fuel oil.

08:21We struck a deal to buy loose petrol at a fuel pump near Basai village in New District.

08:28We just showed you how easy it is to go around shopping for all the ingredients that make up a lethal crude bomb.

08:43These unregulated markets of Delhi NCR pose a direct threat to the security of the country.

08:50For a few thousand rupees, one can easily procure urea, NPK, ammonium nitrate, mining explosives and loose petrol.

08:57Anytime, anywhere.

08:58With Nitin Jain and Rajesh Khatri, it's a special investigation report for India Today.
