NIA names key architect of Delhi Red Fort blast

In a supplementary chargesheet filed before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House Courts, New Delhi, on Friday, the agency chargesheeted three more accused, including Muzafar Ahmad Rather alias Faraz alias Zafar, taking the total number of accused in the case to 13, including deceased prime accused Dr Umer Un Nabi.

The latest development comes six weeks after the NIA filed its 7,500-page main chargesheet on May 14, 2026, naming two doctors with Uttar Pradesh links, Lucknow resident Dr Shaheen Saeed and Saharanpur-based physician Dr Adil, as accused in what investigators described as a radicalised terror network operating under the Al-Qaeda-linked outfit “AGuH Interim.”

According to the NIA, the supplementary chargesheet alleges that Dr Muzafar, an MBBS and MD pediatrician from Jammu and Kashmir, was among the founding members of AGuH Interim and one of the principal conspirators behind the vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) attack near the Red Fort Metro station.
