Police, investigating the blast, said the suspects had pooled more than Rs 26 lakh in cash, which was handed over to Umar Nabi for safekeeping and operational use.
Using the pooled money, the group had allegedly purchased around 26 quintals of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) fertiliser, approximately worth Rs 3 lakh, from suppliers in Gurugram, Nuh, and nearby towns. The fertiliser, mixed with other chemicals, is commonly used to manufacture Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
Around eight suspects were planning to carry out blasts in four cities and were planning to move in batches of two to each city to target them, police sources said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the punishment for the culprits of the Delhi car blast will send a message to the world that no terrorist should even dare to think of committing such an act in India.
Mr. Shah said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the entire world has recognised India’s fight against terrorism over the past 11 years, adding that the Prime Minister is at the forefront of leading this fight globally. He stated that all those who committed this cowardly act and those behind it will be brought before the law and given the strictest possible punishment. The Indian government and the Ministry of Home Affairs are fully committed to ensuring this, he said.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has come out in support of the government findings on the Delhi blast that occurred on Monday (November 10) evening near the iconic Red Fort. Tharoor said that a terrorist attack cannot go unpunished and showed faith in the government to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The residence of Dr Umar Nabi, accused in the Red Fort blast, has been demolished in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir.
On Delhi terror attack, Chidanand Saraswati, the head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh, says, "This is very sad. The people who are behind this attack have to understand that this nation belongs to all, loves all, and the few, if they try to bring violence through these attacks, they will never succeed...The whole nation is broken and shattered. On one side, you say this religion is the religion of peace, and then on the other side, you are creating pieces in the nation. Every time something happens, the name comes from the one community. This is not what we want to see. ..I want to pray for those people who have lost their lives, people who are in the hospitals...Enough is enough. Please don't do it, for God's sake. This is not Islam...Religion brings peace. Religion never breaks. Religion unites. So in the name of religion, we should not do it ...The purpose of education was not to bring destruction. The purpose of education was to bring peace, normalcy and harmony in the nation"
