New Delhi : AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday lashed out at Dr Umar Un Nabi, the man who carried out the November 10 car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, saying his actions were not misunderstood and that it was an act of terror and nothing else. There is an undated video of Delhi blasts accused Umar Nabi justifying suicide bombing as martyrdom, and that it’s ‘misunderstood. Suicide is haram in Islam and the killing of innocents is a grave sin. Such acts are also against the law of the land.
Amit Shah had assured Parliament that no local Kashmiri had joined terror groups in the last six months. Where did this group come from then? Who is accountable for the failure to detect this group? he said. Dr Umar said in the video that what is labelled a “suicide bombing” was actually a “martyrdom operation” in Islam, offering a glimpse into the would-be suicide bomber’s radicalised mindset.
Officials investigating the Red Fort blast believe the November 10 explosion was accidental. Dr Umar planned on eventually carrying out a large-scale suicide bombing. The blast ripped through a busy street near the historic monument, killing at least 14 people and injuring more than 20 others. The force of the blast shattered shopfronts and sent panic across the Old Delhi area, one of the most crowded parts of the capital.
Investigators believe Umar, the most radicalised member of the “white-collar” Faridabad terror module that planned the Red Fort blast, made the video to brainwash individuals. The module linked to the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) allegedly included nine to 10 members, among them five to six doctors, who worked at the tainted Al-Falah Univerity in Faridabad and used their medical credentials to procure chemicals and materials for explosives.
