NIA uncovers wider network as suspect worked on drones and small rockets for Delhi blast

New Delhi : Investigators are uncovering more details about the terror plot behind the recent car blast near the Red Fort, with new arrests pointing to a wider and more organised network operating across multiple states. The National Investigation Agency has taken into custody a 20 year old man from Jammu and Kashmir who is believed to have provided key technical support to the group.

According to officials, the arrested man, Jasir Bilal Wani from Qazigund in Anantnag, was working on modifying drones and experimenting with small rockets for the module. Investigators say Wani was not only aware of the plans but was also directly contributing to the technical preparations. His work reportedly included attempts to turn drones into possible weapons and testing devices that could deliver explosives from a distance.

The NIA believes the module was trying to replicate elements of Hamas style attacks by using drones for targeted strikes. The agency has found evidence showing that the group was exploring ways to deploy drones with explosive payloads, which would allow them to attack crowded or high security areas without direct human involvement. The discovery has raised concerns about how fast such terror groups are adapting new technology into their methods.

The investigation also took a major step forward recently with the arrest of Amir Rashid Ali, another key suspect linked to the ownership of the vehicle used in the blast. Ali, a resident of Kashmir, was detained after authorities traced the car back to him. His arrest has added to the mounting evidence that several young men from the region were recruited for different roles within the network.

Officials are now examining whether the Delhi blast has connections to earlier arrests made in Kashmir. Investigators are studying the possibility that the module was receiving guidance or support from outside India. The pattern of communication, planning and movement of suspects indicates that the conspiracy may extend beyond the immediate group identified so far.

A new case filed by Delhi Police has also revealed that the terror cell used advanced communication techniques to hide their activities. Sources say the group relied on coded conversations, disposable phones and careful planning to avoid detection. This has led police to suspect that the module was operating with a high level of training and preparation, and may have received support from people skilled in technology or cybersecurity.

The explosion near the Red Fort killed and injured several people, creating panic in the area and raising national security concerns. Investigators believe the attacker driving the vehicle may have been on a suicide mission, but evidence suggests that the blast was only one part of a larger plan. Officials fear that if the drone and rocket experiments had reached completion, the group might have executed further attacks in Delhi or other cities.

The NIA is currently mapping the full network of individuals involved in the plot, including those responsible for financing, logistics and recruitment. More arrests are expected as the agency follows new leads. Security agencies across states have been alerted as well, especially in regions where suspects may have travelled or received support.

Authorities say the findings so far point to a carefully structured module that combined traditional bomb making with modern tools like drones. The investigation is still ongoing, and officials believe the deeper layers of the conspiracy will come to light in the coming days.
