Major Breakthrough in Delhi Car Blast Case: How a Haryana Woman Doctor Linked to Terrorist Umar Nabi Was Traced and Detained

The investigation into the Delhi car explosion near Red Fort has taken a significant turn. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has detained a woman doctor from Haryana after uncovering her communication links with prime suspect Umar Nabi, the alleged mastermind behind the blast. She was traced through phone surveillance, leading investigators to new clues in the terror plot.

Doctor Detained From Anantnag

NIA has detained Dr. Priyanka Sharma, an MBBS final-year student from Rohtak, Haryana, who is currently studying and working at GMC Anantnag. Her phone records indicate direct communication with Umar Nabi, prompting investigators to seize her mobile phone and SIM card.

The agency is now questioning her to uncover:

The nature of her communication with Umar Nabi
Whether she played any role in the Delhi car blast
How deeply she was involved in the network connected to Umar

Umar Nabi’s Deep Terror Links Across States

Investigations have revealed that Umar Nabi stayed in a rented accommodation in Haryana’s Nuh district for nearly 10 days before carrying out the Delhi blast. CCTV footage from highways leading to Delhi confirmed that Umar loaded explosives into a car at the rented property and drove towards the capital.

Key revelations include:

Umar purchased explosives from Nuh
Part of the explosives was sent to a rented house in Faridabad
Another portion was transported to Delhi in a car
The Nuh house was owned by the sister-in-law of Shoaib, a technician at Al-Falah University

Cartridges Recovered From Blast Site

Delhi Police recovered two live and one empty 9mm cartridges from the blast zone near Red Fort. These cartridges are prohibited for civilian use. Investigators are now probing:

Where Umar sourced the ammunition
Who supplied the cartridges
How they were intended to be used in the terror operation

Another Doctor Also Detained

NIA has also detained Dr. Janisar Alam alias Jigar, a resident of Dalkhola in Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal. He was picked up from a relative’s home in Kishanganj. Dr. Janisar completed his MBBS from Al-Falah University and practices in Ludhiana.

The NIA found evidence of his communication with another doctor already linked to the Delhi blast module, further exposing the network’s reach across multiple states.

With two doctors, multiple rented safe houses, and a sophisticated explosives trail now under scrutiny, investigators believe they are closing in on the broader terror network responsible for the Delhi car blast. The probe continues to widen as more digital and forensic evidence emerges.
