Dr. Umar Nabi was driving the i20 car in which the blast took place near the Red Fort in Delhi. Umar’s DNA has matched with his mother’s DNA. The investigation teams found Umar’s teeth, bones, pieces of blood-stained clothes and part of his leg, which was stuck between the steering wheel and the accelerator, from the car. Till now, a total of 12 terrorists have been arrested in this case, out of which 6 terrorists are doctors. That means now ‘white collar terror’ is spreading in India. Its biggest advantage is that no one can even imagine that the doctors who save lives will turn out to be harboring terrorists.
So let us understand in ABP Explainer who is Dr. Umar who blew himself up in the car, why only doctors were chosen for the Delhi blasts and who is behind the ‘White Collar Terror’…
Question 1- Who was Dr. Umar Nabi involved in the Delhi car blast?
answer- Dr. Umar Nabi was born in Sambura village of Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. He was a medical professional. He became a doctor after completing MBBS from Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar in 2017. Umar’s family describes him as an introvert, who did not have many friends and always focused on studies. Omar’s cousin Wasim Ahangar told the media, ‘The things that are being said about Umar are very shocking.’
Umar was born in 1993. An elder brother is a plumber and the younger brother is studying. There is also a sister, who is married. Umar was working as a senior doctor or assistant professor at Al-Falah University Hospital in Faridabad, Haryana. According to reports, Umar was engaged to a girl from Srinagar and was going to get married after some time.
Question 2- Was the Delhi blast a suicide attack or a hasty explosion?
answer- From October 30, Umar switched off his mobile phone and did not even go to teach at the university. On November 8, Umar got scared when 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate was recovered from Dr. Muzammil and Maulvi from Faridabad. He hid in Wahdhouj village itself. On 10th November he took a car and came to Delhi. After this, a car blast took place in Delhi on 10 November.
But now there can be 4 scenarios…
- Scenario 1- Blast occurred in haste: According to reports, Umar’s remaining associates were caught and he was the leader of this module. Frightened by the raids one after another, he brought the car to Delhi. The bomb exploded inadvertently while hiding or transporting the car.
- Scenario 2- Deliberate blast: Umar planned the blast after the arrest of his associates. He hastily made a makeshift detonator and deliberately triggered it. Jaish-e-Mohammed radicals support it.
- Scenario 3- Mechanical or Technical Fault: The blast occurred due to wiring or chemical reaction. The car was moving in traffic and its vibration suppressed the detonator. The forensic team said that it was a hastily assembled device. But the panic factor weakens this scenario.
- Scenario 4- Another man instigated the explosion: When Umar reached Delhi, he parked the car in the parking lot of Sunehri Masjid near Red Fort. The car remained parked here for 3 hours. In such a situation, it is possible that someone came to meet Umar and triggered the blast.
However, any of these scenarios may or may not be true. Retired Lieutenant General of the Indian Army Satish Dua says, ‘No official information has come out about this yet nor has any group taken responsibility for it. Whenever there is a suicide attack, some organization takes responsibility for it.
Police had expressed apprehension that the terrorists involved in the Delhi blasts had not one but two cars. On Wednesday, another car, red Eco Sport, was also seized from Faridabad. Other than this Delhi blast There were 3 big revelations in…
- Reiki of Red Fort was done in January 2025: Mobile dump data of the arrested accused revealed that Dr. Muzammil Ghani, an assistant professor arrested from Faridabad’s Al Falah University, and Dr. Umar Nabi, who was allegedly killed in the blast, had conducted recce of the Red Fort several times in January. Both of them had understood the security there and the crowd pattern. Police suspect that the terrorists had planned to attack the Red Fort on January 26, which failed.
- There was a plan to attack Delhi on 6 December: Omar wanted to attack Delhi on 6 December, but the plan got spoiled due to the arrest of Muzammil. This came to light during the interrogation of 8 accused. The center of this interstate module was in Faridabad. There are 6 doctors among the arrested terrorists. Another suspect, Dr. Nisar, a resident of Srinagar, is absconding. He is also the president of the Doctors Association of Kashmir, who was teaching in Al-Falah. Jammu and Kashmir government has dismissed Dr. Nisar.
- Ghani was collecting explosives by pretending to be a sack of fertilizer: Kashmiri Dr. Muzammil Ghani, working at Al-Falah University, Faridabad, was storing explosive material in a rented room by pretending to be fertilizer sacks. 20 days ago, Muzammil had come to the room to keep some sacks, when the neighbors had asked him what was in it? In response, Muzammil had said that these were fertilizer bags, which had to be taken to Kashmir.
Question 3- Why were doctors chosen for the Delhi blasts?
answer- The white collar module was based on highly educated individuals who leveraged their professional identities to handle funding, logistics and radicalization. The objective of the module was to plan attacks in big cities like Delhi, Lucknow, Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Actually, becoming a doctor is the biggest dream of Kashmiri people. In such a situation, if these doctors are made pawns, then the work becomes less and easier. According to experts,
- The professional identity of doctors makes them respected and doubt-free. He could easily hide explosives, weapons and chemicals while working in hospitals and universities.
- The doctors made Al-Falah University their base, where about 40% of the doctors are Kashmiris.
- It is easy to radicalize educated youth. Campuses are made recruitment hubs, where contacts are made on Telegram in the name of charity and relief work. The women’s wing ‘Jamaat-ul-Mominat’ was established by doctors.
- White collar members could plan major attacks. He used to raise funds from charitable fronts, which diverts the attention of investigating agencies. These were used as ‘sleeper cells’.
- Earlier engineers were targeted, but now doctors are targeted because they follow the pattern of global jihad. They are not unemployed but ideologically motivated.
Out of the 12 terrorists involved in this blast, 6 are doctors, which include names like Dr. Muzammil Shakeel, Dr. Shaheen Shahid, Dr. Adil Ahmed, Dr. Sajjad Ahmed, Dr. Parvez Ansari and Dr. Tajamul Ahmed Malik.
Question 4- Were the Delhi blasts linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed?
answer- The investigating agencies have recovered the diaries of Dr. Omar and Dr. Muzammil. The dates of 8th to 12th November are recorded in these. This revealed that such an incident was being planned. The diary also contained names of about 25 people, most of whom were residents of Jammu and Kashmir and Faridabad. These diaries were recovered from Dr. Umar’s room number 4 and Muzammil’s room number 13 on Tuesday and Wednesday. Police have recovered a diary from Muzammil’s room.
Code words were written in the diaries of Umar and Muzammil, these are being decoded. The agencies are also investigating whether different vehicles were being prepared for the blasts. Investigative agencies said on Thursday that about 8 suspects were preparing to carry out blasts at four locations. A group of 2-2 people was given the target of blast in one big city.
The investigators of the diaries of Omar and Muzammil have revealed that the terrorists of Doctor Terror module associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed had planned blasts at 6 places in Delhi on 6 December. These people had planned to attack in August, but after the operation was delayed, a new date was chosen – 6 December, which is the anniversary of the demolition of Babri Masjid. During interrogation, members of the Doctor terrorist module told that they had planned to carry out serial blasts in 5 different phases.
- Creating a terrorist module linked to Jaish-Ghazwat ul Hind.
- Buying raw materials for making explosives.
- Making IED and recceing the target.
- Delivering explosives to the module members.
- To carry out blasts at 5 to 6 places.
This shows that this attack is related to Jaish. Apart from this, on October 19, Dr. Adil had put up a poster in Naugaon, Jammu and Kashmir, which had the name of Jaish-e-Mohammed. In this poster, local shopkeepers were warned not to have any connection with the army or any central agency, nor to do any deal. The security agencies were alert to this.
