On August 29, 2026, a Delhi court acknowledged the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) extensive 7,500-page chargesheet against 13 suspects in connection with the 2025 Red Fort blast. The devastating Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack on November 10, 2024, resulted in 11 fatalities and numerous injuries. Special Judge Prashant Sharma granted cognizance to the chargesheet and adjourned the proceedings to September 9 for further action.
In May 2025, the NIA had initially filed charges against 10 individuals, all associated with Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), a splinter group of Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The primary suspect, Dr. Umer Un Nabi, tragically passed away during this phase. Subsequently, on June 15, 2025, the agency submitted a supplementary chargesheet against three additional individuals, including a fugitive pediatrician who is alleged to have served as the founding member of a terror cell, bringing the total number of charge-sheeted persons to 13.
