Uttar Pradesh | Security agencies have intensified their investigation across Uttar Pradesh following the deadly car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort that claimed at least twelve lives. Search operations were carried out in multiple districts including Lucknow, Saharanpur, and Lakhimpur Kheri as authorities traced possible links of suspects connected to the attack. Public areas remained under tight security as officials strengthened monitoring and conducted identity checks of individuals suspected of being linked to those already detained.

Probe at Lucknow Residence of Detained Doctor

In Lucknow, a combined team of the Anti-Terrorist Squad, local police, and central investigation units searched the Muttaqipur residence of Dr Shaheen Shahid who had earlier been arrested in relation to the Delhi explosion case. Officials collected documents and questioned her relatives and neighbors to understand her background. Her father Syed Ahmad Ansari expressed disbelief over her alleged involvement stating that his daughter had completed her medical studies in Allahabad now Prayagraj and had no known association with extremist groups.

Dr Shaheen Shahid who had earlier been arrested in relation to the Delhi explosion case.

 

Authorities believe Dr Shaheen may have had connections with Dr Muzammil from whom a large cache of explosives was seized earlier in Faridabad.

Muzammil was already wanted by Jammu and Kashmir Police in a separate case involving online posts supporting the banned militant group Jaish e Mohammed.

Family in Lakhimpur Kheri Claims Innocence of Detained Youth

In Lakhimpur Kheri, the family of Mohammad Suhail who was detained by Gujarat ATS from Banaskantha district on suspicion of terror activities claimed he had been wrongfully implicated. Suhail lived in Singahi town with his parents and siblings and had been pursuing religious education at a madrassa in Muzaffarnagar for the last three years. His mother said he was a calm and disciplined student who had never engaged in any unlawful behavior. She added that he last visited home during Bakrid in June and later informed his sister that he was on vacation in Gujarat.

The family’s modest house has been under police watch since his detention though authorities confirmed that no criminal record of Suhail exists in the district. His father and younger brother both work as mechanics.

Investigations Continue in Saharanpur Over Suspected Links

In Saharanpur, investigators are examining the background of another accused, Dr Adil Ahmad, who was arrested on November 7 by Jammu and Kashmir Police with the support of local authorities. Adil, originally from Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir, had been staying in Bapu Vihar Colony on Ambala Road while working at Famous Hospital for the past six months. Locals described him as quiet and private though his home often saw late night visitors and vehicles parked outside.

He had previously worked at another private hospital in the city where the management stated he had always been polite and dedicated to his patients showing no signs of suspicious behavior. The case against Adil emerged after posters supporting Jaish e Mohammed appeared in parts of Srinagar and CCTV footage allegedly captured him putting them up. Following electronic surveillance, his location was traced to Saharanpur where he was taken into custody from the hospital and handed over to Srinagar Police. The hospital has since removed his name from its records.

Joint teams from Jammu and Kashmir Police, Uttar Pradesh ATS, and central agencies are continuing inquiries in Saharanpur to identify any associates or local links that could connect Adil with others involved in the Delhi blast.

Statewide Security on High Alert

Following the explosion in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh Police have increased security across the state conducting intensive checks in busy areas such as markets, metro stations, shopping centers, railway stations, and bus terminals. Bomb disposal squads and dog units have been deployed at sensitive locations to prevent further incidents.

A senior police officer stated that continuous patrolling has been ordered in all major districts and the state remains on high alert until further notice. The enhanced vigilance covers cities including Lucknow, Noida, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Mathura Vrindavan, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Saharanpur, and Aligarh.

Among the twelve victims of the Delhi blast, four individuals identified so far were residents of Uttar Pradesh—Ashok Kumar from Amroha, Nauman Ansari from Shamli, Mohsin from Meerut, and Dinesh Mishra from Shravasti—while another victim, Shiva Jaiswal from Deoria, is undergoing treatment for injuries.

The Supreme Court voiced its concern on Monday with the Uttar Pradesh government’s status report on the October 3 violence in Lakhimpur Kheri, in which eight persons were killed, including four farmers and a local journalist.

 

The court stated that the status report contained nothing other than the government’s statement that more witnesses had been questioned in the case. The court stated, “This is not going the way we expected.”

 

Further, the highest court said it will assign a former judge of a high court from outside UP to monitor the inquiry, citing its dissatisfaction with the mingling of witnesses in separate FIRs in the case. On Friday, the case will be heard again.
