Shocking Photo Surfaces of Delhi Bomber in Doctor’s Disguise
A newly revealed photograph has stunned India’s security agencies, showing Umar Mohammad—the prime suspect in the recent Delhi suicide bombing—wearing a doctor’s white coat and stethoscope. The image, leaked to media outlets, suggests Mohammad exploited a professional disguise to evade detection before the attack.
The Disturbing Image: Key Details
The photo, reportedly taken weeks before the bombing, depicts Mohammad standing in a hospital-like setting. Intelligence sources indicate he may have used this cover to conduct reconnaissance or bypass security checks.
“This exposes glaring gaps in urban surveillance,” a senior Delhi Police official told NextMinuteNews. “Terrorists are blending into trusted professions, and we must act.”
Who Was Umar Mohammad?
The 28-year-old from Jammu and Kashmir, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), carried out a suicide attack near Connaught Place, killing six. With a biochemistry background, he allegedly crafted explosives—and now, the photo suggests he also exploited his education to pose as a medic.
Security Failures Under Fire
Experts warn that terrorists are adopting sophisticated disguises:
– Evolving Tactics: Fake IDs, professional attire, and insider help enable evasion.
– Hospital Vulnerabilities: Open-access policies make healthcare facilities high-risk zones.
Retired Major Vikram Singh noted, “This is a wake-up call for stricter background checks in sensitive sectors.”
Political Backlash & Government Response
Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, slammed the government: “If a bomber poses as a doctor, who’s safe?” Home Minister Amit Shah has summoned NIA and IB chiefs to address lapses. Stricter hospital ID checks are expected soon.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities are:
– Reviewing hospital records for Mohammad’s fake identity.
– Tracing the photo leak to uncover potential moles.
The incident highlights the urgent need for upgraded counter-terror measures in India.
