NIA identifies Umer Un Nabi as mastermind in Red Fort terror plot

The National Investigation Agency has formally named Umer Un Nabi as the principal orchestrator of a terror conspiracy connected to the Red Fort incident, according to a chargesheet filed in the case. The investigation reveals Un Nabi played a central role in reviving what had become an inactive cell of the Al-Qaeda affiliated outfit Ansar Ghazis-ul-Hind (AGuH), marking a significant escalation in militant activity.

According to the agency's findings, Un Nabi's role extended beyond organisational revival. The chargesheet details his efforts to identify and radicalise potential recruits for the conspiracy, bringing operatives into the fold of the terror network. His activities represented a deliberate strategy to expand the group's operational capacity and reach.

The NIA investigation further alleges that Un Nabi was instrumental in the logistical architecture supporting the conspiracy. This included arranging financial resources to fund operations, procuring weapons and identifying strategic locations for planning and executing the alleged terror activities. These efforts were part of a coordinated scheme involving multiple individuals working in concert.

The chargesheet represents a culmination of the agency's investigation into the Red Fort incident and the broader terror network allegedly involved. Authorities have indicated that further investigations continue as they work to establish the full scope of the conspiracy and identify all individuals involved in the plot.
