Red Fort Blast: Bomber Justifies ‘Martyrdom Operation’

A pre-blast video featuring Umar un Nabi, the perpetrator of the November 10, 2025, Red Fort car bombing in Delhi, reveals his chilling justification for the suicide attack. In the recording, Nabi refers to the act not as suicide, but as a ‘martyrdom operation,’ a term he uses to frame his actions within an Islamic context. He openly discusses the existence of religious arguments opposing suicide bombings but firmly contends that his specific operation is religiously permissible and justified. This significant piece of evidence, discovered during the ongoing probe, is instrumental for investigators piecing together the events leading up to the Delhi bombing and identifying any accomplices or external support. The video provides a direct, albeit disturbing, account of the bomber’s warped ideology and his determination to carry out the attack.
