According to the NIA’s remand paper, what role did Amir Rashid Ali allegedly play in the Red Fort car bomb blast?
Arranged a safe house and provided logistical support to Dr Umar NabiIn its remand paper submitted to the court on November 18, 2025, the National Investigating Agency (NIA) alleged that Amir Rashid Ali, a resident of Pampore in South Kashmir, arranged a safe house and provided logistical support to Dr Umar Nabi, the suicide bomber in the November 10 Red Fort car bomb blast that killed 15 people. Ali was the registered owner of the vehicle used as a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) and had traveled to Delhi specifically to facilitate its purchase. The NIA stated the attack was designed to instill public fear and destabilize national unity. Ali’s custodial interrogation was approved for 10 days to uncover the full conspiracy, and he was to be taken to Kashmir for further investigation. Recovered 9mm cartridges at the site also suggest the possibility of an armed backup plan.
