In a significant development following last week’s deadly car bomb attack in New Delhi, Indian anti-terrorism authorities presented suspect Amir Rashid Ali in court on Monday. Ali is accused of conspiring with Umar Un Nabi, the alleged suicide bomber, to orchestrate the terror attack that claimed multiple lives. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) stated that Ali facilitated the purchase of the vehicle used as an improvised explosive device (IED), while Nabi, a medical professor from Haryana, is believed to have carried out the attack. The blast occurred near a bustling metro station close to the historic Red Fort, a site of national significance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the attack as a ‘conspiracy’ and pledged to bring all perpetrators and their sponsors to justice. The death toll remains disputed, with the NIA reporting 10 fatalities and hospital sources indicating at least 12. The court has ordered Ali to be held in custody for 10 days as investigations continue. The incident has heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, with Indian officials issuing stern warnings to their neighbor. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi likened the recent cross-border conflict to a ‘trailer,’ suggesting that India is prepared for further escalation if provoked. The attack underscores the persistent threat of terrorism in the region and raises questions about the motives and networks behind the suspects.
