Srinagar, Nov 14 (IANS) Security forces on Friday demolished the house of Dr Omar Nabi, the main accused in the Delhi blasts that killed 12 people and injured several others, a day after his identity was confirmed by DNA matching with his mother.
Security forces demolished a house in Koil village of Pulwama district in the early hours. This action was taken after his identity was confirmed by matching his mother’s DNA.
Reports said security forces responded in the early hours of the morning, evacuating the prisoners and then carrying out a controlled explosion to demolish the house.
Local people said that three loud explosions were heard in the morning.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday that the strictest action will be taken against everyone involved in the Delhi terror blast.
A massive crackdown against banned Jamaat-e-Islami cadres is underway in the Valley and suspects are being picked up for questioning.
The terror module was exposed after Jammu and Kashmir Police arrested two overground workers (OGWs). Sustained interrogation of these OGWs led to the arrest of Dr. Adil Rather of Qazigund, Kulgam district.
An AK-47 rifle was recovered from the locker of Dr. Adil Rather at the Government Medical College, Anantnag. He left his job from the medical college in October 2024.
CCTV footage also shows him putting up posters of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist organisation. They led the police to Dr. Muzammil Ghani in Faridabad and recovered 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate, timer devices, etc.
Dr. Umar Nabi escaped arrest after the terrorist module was busted. He died in a terrorist blast near the Red Fort in which 12 civilians were killed and many others were injured.
Police also arrested Dr Shaheen Shahid of Lucknow, from whose car an assault rifle was recovered. He worked with other members of the terrorist module at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad.
Dr Adil’s brother, Dr Muzaffar, another member of the terror module, left for Dubai in August. Jammu and Kashmir Police has approached Interpol for a Red Corner Notice against Dr. Muzaffar.
Meanwhile, UP Police has arrested a medical college professor and a cardiology student from Jammu and Kashmir in connection with the Delhi blasts, while investigators said more attacks were planned in four cities across the country by an interstate white-collar terror module.
The government has ordered a forensic audit of all records of Al Falah University, which is under investigation after the Delhi blasts, besides asking the ED and other financial probe agencies to probe the money trail of the Faridabad-based institute.
