Jamir and Tufail were arrested in February 2026. The agency has already filed the main chargesheet in this case.
It is alleged that Zameer and Tufail were collecting arms and ammunition. Jamir was given a rifle, a pistol and live ammunition by Umar, Irfan and Adil. Both Ansars are associated with Ghazwat ul Hind. This case pertains to the Red Fort car bomb blast of November 2025. Earlier on May 14, NIA had filed the first charge sheet.
The NIA has filed a 7,500-page charge sheet against 10 accused in connection with the blast that took place near the Red Fort in Delhi on November 10, 2025. The agency enforces provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the Indian Justice Code, the Explosive Substances Act, the Arms Act and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. Among those included in the charge sheet is key conspirator Omar Un Nabi, due to whose death it is proposed to end the proceedings. The remaining accused named in the prosecution complaint are Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Muzmil Shakeel, Adeel Ahmed Rather, Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmed Wage, Soyeb, Bilal Naseer Malla and Yasir Ahmed Dar.
Terrorist organization and conspiracy of ‘Operation Heavenly Hind’
The NIA alleged that all the accused were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an affiliate of Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), which was declared a terrorist organization by the Home Ministry in 2018. According to the agency, the chargesheet is based on extensive investigation conducted in Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi-NCR. The prosecution complaint reportedly includes 588 oral testimonies, over 395 documents, and over 200 seized material exhibits.
The NIA has alleged a larger ‘jihadi conspiracy’ involving radicalized individuals, including medical professionals, inspired by the AQIS/AGuH ideology. The investigators claimed that the accused reorganized the organization as ‘AGuH Interim’ during a secret meeting in Srinagar in 2022. The agency further alleged that the accused had launched a campaign named ‘Operation Heavenly Hind’ with the aim of overthrowing the democratically elected government and imposing Sharia law.
Explosives and weapons cache
According to the investigating agency, the accused allegedly recruited members, spread extremist ideology, stored arms and ammunition and made explosives using commercially available chemicals. The NIA claimed that the explosive substance used in the blast was triacetone triperoxide (TATP), which was reportedly prepared after several experiments. The investigation also allegedly revealed illegal procurement of banned weapons, including AK-47 rifles, Krinkov rifles and country-made pistols, as well as experiments with rocket-based and drone-mounted IEDs targeting security establishments. The agency said scientific and forensic investigations, including DNA fingerprinting and voice analysis, helped establish the identity of the deceased accused Umar Un Nabi. (ANI)
