A National Investigation Agency (NIA) team is set to arrive in Faridabad to take over the investigation into the discovery of nearly 2,900kg of ammonium nitrate and other explosive materials linked to a blast outside Delhi's Red Fort. The explosive materials and firearms were recovered from a rented premises connected to two accused doctors, Muzammil Ahmad and Umar Un Nabi, who worked at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad. Forensic teams have found traces of suspected ammonium nitrate-based compounds on lab equipment at the college, suggesting that the accused may have diverted materials from the lab inventory to assemble explosive components. The police are scrutinizing attendance logs and examining seized vials, glass flasks, and containers to determine the extent of the diversion. A Jammu and Kashmir Police team is collaborating with forensic experts to compare samples from Srinagar with those recovered in Faridabad to identify any chemical and operational links. The State Forensic Science Laboratory will analyze the collected samples to confirm the presence of explosive materials. As the investigation unfolds, the police have barred media from entering the college campus due to heightened security concerns. The NIA's involvement in the probe highlights the severity of the situation and the need for a comprehensive investigation. The probe is expected to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the blast and the role of the accused doctors in the explosive material recovery.
