New Delhi, November 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The investigation into last year’s Red Fort car blast in Delhi has uncovered details of the alleged planning behind the attack and the establishment of the Faridabad-based terror module, also known as the ‘Doctor’s module’.
Investigators found that the module’s members had allegedly planned their activities meticulously, stayed under the radar of security agencies and procured thousands of kilograms of ammonium nitrate without attracting suspicion. However, the blast was triggered prematurely, and the attack did not unfold as intended.
Officials said the investigation had exposed a wider agenda that went beyond carrying out attacks. According to an official, the module allegedly aimed to overthrow the Union government and impose Sharia law in India. Literature recovered from the module and its plans were cited as indicators of this alleged objective.
Another official warned that the greater concern was the possibility of similar modules emerging elsewhere in the country. The official said outfits such as the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda were inspiring region-specific radicalisation efforts aimed at creating multiple independent modules with similar objectives.
An Intelligence Bureau official said the Faridabad module had allegedly planned a series of attacks across North India, seeking to cause maximum damage and then pressure the government to step down. The official added that attacks combined with propaganda could place considerable pressure on the country’s security apparatus.
Officials said such modules were designed to operate independently, without direct operational links with one another, making it difficult for investigators to trace wider networks. Their members allegedly acquire explosive-making skills, arrange materials independently and rely largely on self-funding, leaving limited financial trails for security agencies to follow.
The investigation has therefore highlighted the challenge posed by decentralised terror modules that can operate much like lone actors while pursuing a common ideological agenda.
