A shocking video has come to light in the investigation into the Red Fort car blast, revealing the radical views of Umar Un-Nabi, the doctor who drove the explosive-laden Hyundai i20. According to investigators, Nabi was the most extreme member of a white-collar terror network, deeply committed to the concept of suicide bombings. The one-minute video, recorded in April and recovered from a damaged mobile phone, shows Nabi alone in a room speaking in English about the benefits of suicide attacks, which he likened to "martyrdom". This disturbing clip has raised concerns that Nabi may have been attempting to radicalize others. The video was retrieved from a phone found near Nabi's home in Pulwama's Koil. A Delhi Police officer close to the probe revealed that Nabi had given the phone to his brother Zahoor Ilahi in September or October, instructing him to destroy it if he heard any news about him. Zahoor later revealed the phone's existence to investigators, allowing forensic experts to extract the data despite the phone's extensive damage. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has confirmed that Nabi was the suicide bomber responsible for the November 10 Red Fort explosion, which killed at least 12 people. His identity was established through DNA matching with samples from his mother. His two brothers and mother were detained soon after his name emerged. Forensic teams found the device in a water body, and officers believe the group of doctors may have been attempting to replicate the 2019 Pulwama suicide attack. Arrests and searches have expanded across multiple states. Police say Nabi was using at least two phones at the time of the blast, and investigators are working to determine the number of devices and SIM cards he had. Three doctors - Dr Muzammil Ganaie, Dr Shaheen Shahid, and Dr Adeel Rather - have been arrested so far. Rather's brother, Dr Muzzaffar, suspected to be part of the network, is believed to be in Afghanistan. Investigators are also searching for Dr Nissar ul-Hassan, who worked with Nabi, Ganaie, and Shaheen at Al Falah University. The Delhi Police Special Cell is examining whether the module sought to replicate the modus operandi of the 2019 Pulwama attack. Former Jammu and Kashmir police chief SP Vaid warned that the willingness of educated professionals like doctors to carry out suicide missions is alarming and stressed the need for community leaders to counter indoctrination.
