Red Fort explosion: Soyab, the accused, is detained by the NIA for ten days

Red Fort explosion: Soyab, the suspect in the Delhi terror bomb case, was taken into prison by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for ten days after being taken into custody earlier on Wednesday in Faridabad.

After Soyab was brought before the Patiala House Court, the court authorized his 10-day NIA custody transfer.

On the same day, the NIA custody of Aamir Rashid Ali, another important accused, expired. Additionally, he was brought before the court, which granted him an extra seven days in detention.

Soyab, a resident of Dhoj in Faridabad, was detained by the NIA earlier in the day for harboring terrorist Dr. Umar Muhammad, also known as Umar Un Nabi, just before to the terror bombing in Delhi.

Soyab is the eighth person detained in relation to the crime.

The NIA claims that in addition to harboring Umar before to the assault, he also supplied logistical assistance that was essential to the November 10 vehicle bombing near the Red Fort, which resulted in several fatalities and numerous injuries.

Six of Umar’s close associates had already been detained by the NIA as part of ongoing investigations under case number RC-21/2025/NIA/DLI prior to this arrest.

According to the NIA, it has been conducting coordinated searches in numerous states with the help of local police forces and is actively pursuing multiple leads connected to the suicide attack. The CIA said that its goal is to locate and capture every individual connected to the broader terrorist organization that carried out the assault.

In the meanwhile, disturbing information on terrorist Umar’s planning and tactics has come to light via ongoing investigations.

Interrogation inputs from captured terror module members reveal that Umar kept what investigators refer to as a “mobile workstation”—a large suitcase filled with containers, chemical compounds, and instruments for building bombs. Everywhere he went, he brought it with him.

Before developing the final Improvised Explosive Device (IED), Umar, a medical expert connected to Al-Falah University in Faridabad, is said to have carried out chemical testing at his campus room.

Interrogators were informed by Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, one of the detained suspects and a member of the same institution, that Umar experimented with compounds that were subsequently utilized in the explosion.
