Faridabad / New Delhi, November 13:
In a major revelation in the Red Fort blast investigation, security agencies have identified Building Number 17 of Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad as the key meeting hub of the Jaish-linked terror module responsible for the deadly explosion. The building, which functioned as a boys’ hostel, is now under heavy police guard after investigators confirmed it was used to plan multiple bomb attacks across Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
According to official sources, Room Number 13, occupied by Muzammil Shakeel, a close associate of Dr Umar un Nabi—the alleged mastermind behind the Red Fort car blast—served as the primary planning site for the module. It was inside this room that the suspects allegedly discussed and finalized the logistics of assembling explosives and transporting chemicals from the college laboratory.
Investigators revealed that the group had decided to extract certain chemical substances from the university lab and mix them with ammonium nitrate and oxide compounds to create a low-grade but powerful explosive. Police believe these materials were later used in the device that exploded near Red Fort earlier this week, killing 13 people and injuring several others.
During searches, forensic teams recovered several chemicals, pen drives, and other digital devices from the sealed hostel room. These are now being examined to trace communication records and technical data linked to the blast conspiracy.
Sources said that Dr Umar un Nabi, along with faculty member Shaheen Shahid, who was recently arrested in Kanpur, coordinated the movement of chemicals from the college laboratory to Dhauj and Taga villages in Faridabad—both locations believed to have served as storage and assembly points.
Investigators are now questioning other students and staff members of Al-Falah College to determine whether more individuals were aware of or assisted in the operation. The discovery of the meeting site has provided a crucial lead in connecting the Faridabad module to the Red Fort blast and the broader terror network active across northern India.
