In a major breakthrough in the high-profile Red Fort blast case, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted a massive raid at the residence of a prominent businessman in the Gulura area of Handwara this morning. The operation, supported by local police and paramilitary forces, is part of the ongoing probe into the devastating suicide car bombing that rocked Delhi on November 10, 2025, claiming 15 lives.

The investigation into the blast revealed a chilling ‘White-Collar Terror Module’ led by Dr. Umar un Nabi, a former Assistant Professor who turned into a suicide bomber. Today’s raid in Handwara targets the alleged financial and logistical backbone of this network. Sources suggest that the businessman under scrutiny might have provided encrypted communication channels or funds for the I20 car used in the explosion.

During the search, NIA officials reportedly seized several electronic gadgets, bank statements, and sensitive documents. The Gulura area remains cordoned off as investigators analyze digital footprints linked to the ‘Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind’ (AGH) terror outfit. With over 11 suspects already behind bars across Pulwama, Srinagar, and Shopian, this Handwara raid is seen as a decisive step toward dismantling the professional-led terror cells operating from within the Valley. The outcomes of this raid could lead to more high-profile arrests in the coming days.
