{ "title": "Red Fort Blast: Suspect's Desperate Act After Security Agencies Crack Down on Terror Module", "article": "A car explosion near the Red Fort on Monday was caused by panic and desperation, according to investigators. The suspected attacker, Dr. Umar Nabi, is believed to have acted hastily after a multi-state crackdown by security agencies on a Pakistan-backed terror module. The operation, which began on November 8, led to the recovery of over 3,000 kg of explosives and the arrest of several individuals linked to the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind groups. The module, which spanned across Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, was suspected to be backed by foreign handlers in Pakistan and the Gulf countries. Dr. Umar, a doctor at Al-Falah hospital in Faridabad, was allegedly part of this network. He managed to escape the initial crackdown but is believed to have driven the car used in the blast, which was caught on CCTV footage. The investigation revealed that the explosive material used in the bomb was from the same consignment recovered by agencies in Faridabad. As the security agencies intensified their crackdown, the suspect is believed to have acted in a state of panic and desperation, leading to the premature explosion. The dismantling of this terror module has foiled a major conspiracy, with officials suspecting that the group was planning major attacks across the country. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing all aspects of the case, including funding and operational networks. The probe has also established that the first clues about the module emerged on October 19, when objectionable posters were discovered in the Naugam area of Jammu and Kashmir."
