‘Spectacular Attack’ Foiled: DNA Confirms Umar as Delhi Bomber; Ayodhya Targeted

In a major breakthrough, Indian security agencies have foiled a “spectacular attack” planned by terror operatives, with DNA evidence confirming Umar as the Delhi car bomber. Investigations reveal the terror module, linked to a Pakistan-based outfit, also intended to strike Ayodhya, raising alarms ahead of critical elections.

Delhi Car Bomb Plot Uncovered

On Tuesday, Delhi Police and the NIA detained two suspects after discovering an explosives-laden vehicle near a crowded market in Central Delhi. Forensic analysis matched DNA from the vehicle to Umar, a known terror operative from Jammu and Kashmir.

“The DNA match is irrefutable. Umar was the mastermind, guided by handlers across the border,” said a senior NIA official.

Ayodhya Temple Also on Target

Interrogations revealed the group planned a simultaneous attack in Ayodhya, aiming to disrupt communal harmony before the Ram Temple consecration. Intelligence reports confirm reconnaissance near the temple, suggesting a “twin-city attack strategy.”

“This was an attempt to plunge India into chaos,” a Home Ministry official stated.

Pakistan’s Involvement Suspected

Investigators suspect Pakistan-based handlers, citing LeT-linked financial trails and encrypted communications.

“This bears the hallmark of cross-border terror—funding, explosives, and guidance point to a coordinated plan,” an intelligence source said.

Nationwide Security Boosted

Security has been tightened in Delhi, Ayodhya, and sensitive areas. PM Modi held an emergency meeting, vowing:

“Terrorism won’t be tolerated. The perpetrators will face full force of the law.”

Political Reactions

• Rahul Gandhi (Congress): “Terrorism is our common enemy. Unity is crucial.”
• BJP’s Sambit Patra: “Anti-India forces aim to derail progress.”

What’s Next?

• NIA expanding probe to arrest more suspects.
• Local collaborators under scrutiny given the plot’s sophistication.

The foiled attack underscores India’s persistent terror threats, but swift action has averted disaster.
