CJP’s Parliament march loses its script at Jantar Mantar, splinters into scattered protests
Student groups and Opposition workers formed a sizeable crowd, but the promised procession towards Parliament never emerged as one organised march.
The investigation into the Red Fort car blast has gathered significant pace, with police and central agencies piecing together new clues almost by the hour. From a missing vehicle believed to be linked to the prime accused to coded diaries recovered from university hostels, the picture is slowly but sharply widening.
Here are the 10 most important developments so far:

2. Red EcoSport traced to Faridabad and seized
On Wednesday, Faridabad Police recovered a red Ford EcoSport (DL 10 CK 0458) near Khandawali village. The vehicle is believed to have been kept ready as part of the same network allegedly being run by Umar and his associates.

3. Relative detained for parking the seized EcoSport
A man identified as Faheem has been detained for allegedly parking the red EcoSport in Khandwali. Intelligence officials say he is related to Dr Umar and was reportedly in regular touch with him before the incident.
4. Intel agencies flag a wider conspiracy involving multiple cars
Investigators now believe the Hyundai i20 that exploded may not have been the only vehicle being prepared. Besides the EcoSport, two more older cars were reportedly being modified to carry explosives, pointing to a plan far more elaborate than initially thought.
5. Eight suspects allegedly planned attacks in multiple cities
According to sources in intelligence agencies, eight members of the module were divided into pairs and were preparing for coordinated blasts in at least four different locations. Agencies are now verifying if additional teams or safehouses were part of the plan.

6. UP ATS detains medical student linked to another accused
In a related development, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad detained a medical student, Mohammad Arif, from Kanpur. He is suspected of having links with Dr Shaheen Sayeed, one of the accused picked up earlier.
7. Coded diaries recovered from Al-Falah University hostel rooms
Police have recovered diaries and notebooks from Rooms 4 and 13 inside Al-Falah University belonging to Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, respectively.
Another diary was seized from Muzammil’s Dhauj accommodation, where 360 kg of explosives were earlier found.
The entries include:
- coded words
- repeated references to dates between November 8 and 12
- the word “Operation” written several times
- a list of around 25 names, mostly from J&K and Faridabad
8. Body part recovered near Lajpat Rai Market; another victim dies
A joint team of Delhi Police and the FSL recovered a severed body part from New Lajpat Rai Market, a few hundred metres from the blast site.
Meanwhile, a victim identified as Bilal succumbed to his injuries at LNJP Hospital early Thursday, raising the death toll to 13.

9. DNA confirms Dr Umar was driving the explosive-laden i20
Police have now formally confirmed that the man driving the i20 was Dr Umar un Nabi. His DNA matched 100 per cent with samples taken from his mother and brother. Fragments of bone, teeth and charred clothing recovered from inside the vehicle helped establish his identity.
10. NIA takes over; raids across states continue
The National Investigation Agency has officially taken over the case.
Teams are examining digital devices, CCTV footage, explosive residues and vehicle parts to determine:
- where the explosives were sourced from
- how the module operated across states
- whether there was foreign guidance
- and how many more people may have been involved
The November 10 explosion near the Red Fort Metro Station killed 13 people and injured several others. What began as a single-vehicle blast has now expanded into one of the most extensive counter-terror investigations in recent years, covering Delhi, Faridabad, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh.
