On the evening of 10 November 2025, disaster struck near New Delhi’s iconic Red Fort Metro Station. A white Hyundai i20 exploded at a red light, tragically killing 12 people and wounding more than 20. But this was no simple accident — it was the eye-opening start of one of the most twisted terror investigations in recent memory. The blast happened in a busy area right next to the historic Red Fort, a symbol of India’s pride. The car was slow-moving, causing initial confusion. But soon police unlocked a deep mystery. Registered back in 2014 in Gurgaon, the i20 had changed hands multiple times and was last used by a man in Faridabad just three months before the explosion. Things got spicier. Police in Jammu & Kashmir had filed a case after Jaish-e-Mohammed posters threatened security forces in Srinagar only weeks before. The threads pointed to a bigger terror web, not just one lone blast. The key players? Shockingly, highly educated doctors hiding in plain sight. Dr Muzammil Ganaie, a 35-year-old teaching MBBS in Faridabad’s Al-Falah University, had over 358 kg of suspected ammonium nitrate, assault rifles, live bullets, and bomb-making tools seized from his home. His colleague Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather was caught with an AK-47. Then there was Dr Shaheen Sayeed from Lucknow, found with an assault rifle in her car, and Dr Umar Mohammad from Pulwama, accused of driving the blasted i20 but still missing. Dr Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed from Hyderabad was nabbed in Gujarat, charged with radicalizing others and found with deadly weapons and poison precursors. A local cleric in Kashmir, Moulvi Irfan Ahmad Wagay, linked to recruiting and logistics, rounded out this scary "white-collar terror ecosystem" made up of professionals, students, and academic fronts moving arms across states. Originally, police believe the terror gang planned a big, well-coordinated strike. But as security forces sped up their hunts, panic set in. The gang exploded prematurely in Delhi. Faridabad raids found nearly 2,900 kg of explosives — a massive stash capable of causing widespread destruction! Forensics took over at the blast site, collecting over 40 samples. Early tests showed ammonium nitrate plus a second, more powerful ingredient. The precise combo is still under study. The case is now under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Explosives Act, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) leading the charge. Home Minister Amit Shah himself held security meetings, demanding speedy lab results. Over 800 police officers, 70 detentions, countless raids, and CCTV footage showing the car parked hours before the blast have helped unlock the terror puzzle. Still, families of accused like Dr Muzammil claim political motives behind the arrests. Post-blast, Delhi tightened security at airports, bus stations, and metro stops. The government announced compensation: Rs 10 lakh for each deceased, Rs 5 lakh for permanent disabilities, and Rs 2 lakh for serious injuries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised, “the conspirators behind this will not be spared.” This shocking incident teaches us hard lessons: terrorists can hide in expert clothes, using universities and medical colleges as covers. Their network stretches wide across states and professions, making them hard to detect. Authorities now face tough questions: How could such huge explosives be stored near a university? How many more similar terror cells exist among doctors, teachers, and researchers? And will stricter background checks and monitoring finally catch these hidden wolves in white coats? The investigation continues, as India watches closely and hopes to stop terror before it strikes again.
