Red Fort i20 Blast: Faridabad Raids, Alfalah University Links, Dr. Muzammil Arrested; Probe Widens

Investigations into the Red Fort i20 car blast have accelerated, revealing a widening network of suspects and locations across several states. Security agencies report major raids in Faridabad where significant quantities of explosive material were recovered, suggesting the blast was part of a larger planned operation rather than an isolated incident. Arrests include Dr. Muzammil, whose mobile phone analysis shows repeated visits to Delhi and images of multiple city sites, raising the possibility of reconnaissance activity. Alfalah University in Faridabad has become a focal point; dozens of students, staff, and associates linked to three detained doctors have been questioned, and between 42 and 50 individuals are reported to have been interviewed. Sources indicate the suspect i20 was parked in the university compound for about ten days before being driven to Delhi, and CCTV footage places the vehicle near Red Fort shortly before the explosion. Agencies are examining call records, location data, and phone imagery to map movements and contacts. The NIA, Delhi Police, and Jammu & Kashmir police are coordinating the multifaceted inquiry. Nationwide security has been tightened, especially along border districts and transit hubs, as investigators seek to dismantle the alleged ‘doctor module’ and prevent further attacks.
