Plot to Hit Red Fort on Republic Day Surfaced Via Faridabad Doctor Mobile Data

Police investigating the car‐blast near the historic Red Fort in Delhi are now examining whether the bomb attack was originally scheduled for India’s Republic Day, January 26. Dump data from the mobile phone of one key accused Dr Muzammil Ganaie of Faridabad shows he made multiple reconnaissance visits to the Red Fort area in early January. 

According to authorities, the route from Rashtrapati Bhavan to the Red Fort is heavily secured during Republic Day, suggesting the timing of visits was significant. The investigation has been handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is analysing tower‐location data, CCTV footage and the suspects’ digital footprint to trace explosive procurement, funding and logistics. 

In one chilling detail, Dr Ganaie’s phone revealed repeated presence in and around the Red Fort zone during the first week of January. His associate, Dr Umar Nabi, is also under scrutiny for similar activity. Sources say that the heightened security on January 26 may have thwarted the original plan, forcing the group to act later resulting in the November explosion that killed 12 people and injured many others. 

The mobile dump data is being cross‐checked with other suspects’ records to uncover whether a broader network was involved. Investigators are also looking into whether the module had connections to terror groups and whether the Red Fort blast was a revenge strike or a carefully timed symbolic act. With the case now with the NIA, further disclosures are awaited.
