Red Fort Blast: Explosives Traced to Nuh Village; Probe Links Purchases to Faridabad Module
In a major breakthrough in the Red Fort blast investigation, authorities have traced the explosives to a remote village in Nuh, Haryana. The probe reveals that purchases were connected to a Faridabad-based module, raising concerns about sleeper cells in the National Capital Region (NCR).
The Blast and Immediate Aftermath
A low-intensity explosion near the Red Fort on [Date] triggered a high-alert security response. While no casualties were reported, security agencies classified it as a terror attack due to the historic site’s symbolic importance.
Forensic reports confirmed the use of ammonium nitrate-based explosives, commonly found in IEDs. The NIA and Delhi Police’s Special Cell launched a multi-state operation to track the supply chain.
Nuh Village Connection
Investigators identified Nuh, a Haryana district known for illegal arms trafficking, as the source. A scrap dealer in Nuh allegedly supplied explosives to multiple buyers over six months.
“The dealer operated under a legitimate cover but had suspicious connections,” said an NIA official.
Nuh’s proximity to Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh has long made it a hotspot for criminal networks, now under intensified scrutiny.
Faridabad Module’s Role

Political and Security Fallout

- Random checks in sensitive areas
