The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two more terrorists in connection with the Red Fort blast case. Eleven people have now been caught as part of the plot. The new crackdown is a big step forward in the investigation into the deadly explosion that shook the nation’s capital.
The two people being charged are Zameer Ahmad Ahangar from Ganderbal and Tufail Ahmad Bhat from Srinagar, both in Uttarakhand. Police said that both were directly involved in the bigger plot to commit terrorism that led to the explosion at the Red Fort.
New Arrests in an Expanding Probe
The NIA says that the two men were caught after probes showed that they had helped the main suspect in the case. The police said they were involved in giving terrorists guns and ammo that were later used in terrorist actions.
As part of their ongoing efforts to break up the entire network behind the attack, the police filed the charges. With these new arrests, the total number of people linked to the case has grown to eleven, showing how widespread the plot was.
Officials stated that investigations are ongoing and that more arrests could occur as the office continues to look for people connected to the case.
What they do as overground workers
Investigators said that both of the suspects were overground workers (OGWs) for Ansar Ghazwatul Hind, a terrorist group that is against the law. OGWs usually help active rebels with logistics and operations, such as finding them a place to stay, a way to get around, weapons, and means of communication.
The NIA said that the two suspects were not only involved in helping to set off the Red Fort bomb, but they were also part of other terror plots that were meant to make the area less stable. People have said that their job of gathering and spreading weapons and ammo is very important to the terror module’s ability to do its job.
The Event of the Red Fort Blast
On November 10, 2025, there was a big blast near the Red Fort. Eleven people were killed in the explosion, and many more were hurt. Because it occurred so close to one of India’s most important historical sites, the event sparked widespread fear and heightened security concerns.
Umer Un Nabi, who was the main suspect in the case, was killed in the. After the attack, the case was given to the NIA, which began a thorough investigation into how the blast was planned, paid for, and carried out.
Soon, the police found out that the explosion wasn’t a one off act of terror but rather part of a bigger plot.

More networks under the scanner
While the investigation was going on, the NIA found a larger terror network with many agents. Several people had already been arrested because they were thought to have helped plan and carry out the attack.
Officials think that the plot was well planned, with each person responsible for a specific task, such as planning, recruiting, getting guns, and helping out in the area.
The agency has been working closely with the Jammu and Kashmir Police and other security agencies to identify those involved. Investigators have been able to put together the framework of the terror cell using digital evidence, questioning, and intelligence leads.

Legal actions and investigations that are still going on
The newly arrested suspects will be taken to a special NIA court, where the agency will ask for their custody so they can be questioned further. Officials want to learn more about the ways that the network gets money and guns, as well as any possible hidden groups that are connected to it.
Following the incident, security agents have increased their monitoring. The government says that breaking down support networks is essential if it wants to stop future strikes.
The NIA has said again that it will bring to justice all of the people who planned the Red Fort blast. Since the investigation is ongoing, officials have said that more information may come to light in the next few days.
