Investigators reportedly recovered the air ticket from a garbage pile outside Adil’s rented accommodation in Aman Vihar Colony, Manakmau, along Ambala Road in Saharanpur. The house has since been sealed and placed under tight security as multiple intelligence and anti-terror teams continue their search operations in the area. Sources confirmed that the ticket has been sent for forensic testing to verify its authenticity and any potential leads it may offer.
Officials stated that Adil, who was taken into custody on November 6, had been working as a doctor at Famous Hospital on Ambala Road in Saharanpur. Known among his colleagues as a quiet and courteous professional, he holds both MBBS and MD degrees. Despite his respectable credentials, investigators suspect that he maintained connections with proscribed militant outfits such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and may have been assisting them with logistical support.
Authorities from Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, and central intelligence units are jointly examining Adil’s activities and communications to identify his possible contacts and financial transactions. He had been residing in a rented home in Bapu Vihar Colony, where neighbors described him as reserved but noted frequent late-night visitors and several vehicles often parked outside his residence.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police had earlier registered a case in Srinagar on October 28 after posters supporting Jaish-e-Mohammed surfaced in multiple locations. CCTV footage allegedly captured Adil pasting those posters, which led investigators to track him down to Saharanpur. He was apprehended from Famous Hospital and later handed over to Srinagar Police under transit remand.
A colleague, Dr Babar, shared that Adil joined the hospital in March and was highly skilled in his field, expressing shock over his alleged involvement in such serious activities. Investigators are now focusing on whether Adil’s Delhi visit on October 31 had any direct operational relevance to the Red Fort explosion or if it was part of a wider terror network functioning across northern India.
Authorities believe Adil’s detention could be linked to a broader counterterrorism crackdown initiated after the Red Fort blast and the recent exposure of a white-collar terror module in Faridabad and Haryana. That operation led to the arrest of several suspects, including doctors from Al Falah University, and the recovery of significant quantities of explosives.

Ashok’s Family Devastated by Sudden Loss
Ashok’s family received his mortal remains at their village in Amroha. The atmosphere was filled with grief as elders and children wept inconsolably. His sister-in-law Sumati shared that Ashok is survived by his wife, two daughters aged seven and nine, and a six-year-old son. She urged the government to extend financial help to the bereaved family.
Ashok’s sister Bhuri, overwhelmed with emotion, appealed for assistance, expressing concern about how Ashok’s widow would raise the children alone.
Second Victim from Amroha Identified as Lokesh Agarwal
Officials confirmed that two residents from Amroha lost their lives in the explosion. The second victim, Lokesh Agarwal, was a fertiliser trader from Hasanpur in Amroha. He had travelled to Delhi to visit a relative admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and later met his friend Ashok near Red Fort Metro Station, where the tragic incident occurred.
Family members said they learned about Lokesh’s death after police traced a call made from his mobile phone. The blast was so intense that both men died instantly. Local MLA Mahendra Singh Khadakvanshi expressed deep sorrow, calling it an irreparable loss for the families and urging authorities to provide necessary support.
Delhi Police Investigate Possible Fidayeen Link
According to Delhi Police, preliminary findings suggest that the explosion might have been a fidayeen-style or suicide attack. Investigators believe the suspect initially planned a different type of blast but switched strategies after a terror module in Faridabad was busted. The change in plan appeared aimed at inflicting maximum casualties and avoiding arrest.
Security Tightened and Probe Intensified
The blast near the Red Fort led to panic across the area and prompted a swift and large-scale security response. Teams from the Special Cell, Crime Branch, and Forensic Science Laboratory were deployed to the site. The area was sealed, and visitors were evacuated as forensic teams examined the scene.
Investigation agencies are also monitoring social media and analysing digital communication data to trace connections and identify those involved in the attack.

Shift in Attack Strategy After Module Bust
Investigators believe the suspect initially intended to detonate explosives but changed plans after learning that a terror module in Faridabad had been dismantled. The suspect allegedly decided on a fidayeen-style approach to cause maximum casualties and avoid being caught by the police.
Exploration of Alternate Targets
Authorities are also examining whether the real target was different, as the car linked to the explosion was seen moving slowly near the site. All possible leads and connections are being investigated.
Link to Earlier Recovery of Explosives
Just a day before the incident, a joint operation by Jammu and Kashmir Police and Haryana Police led to the seizure of around 360 kilograms of explosives and ammunition from Faridabad. Two individuals, identified as Dr. Muzammil and Aadil Rather, were taken into custody during that operation.
Security Measures and Ongoing Investigation
Agencies are working to uncover the motive behind the explosion and identify everyone involved. The Rapid Action Force has been deployed near the Red Fort, where a Hyundai i20 car exploded around 7 pm on Monday evening. The investigation continues as officials trace the sequence of events that led to the blast.
