In a significant development in the Delhi blast investigation, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad has detained another medical professional from Jammu and Kashmir with alleged connections to the main accused in the case.
Doctor Detained from Kanpur Residence
Dr Aarif Mir, who was pursuing his first year MD program at Kanpur Heart Institute, was taken into custody by UP ATS officials from his residence according to police sources. The detention occurred on 13 November 2025, marking another twist in the ongoing probe into the Delhi blast case.
Authorities have identified Dr Mir as an acquaintance of Umar Nabi, the primary accused in the Delhi blast investigation. This connection has raised serious concerns among security agencies about potential networks supporting the accused individuals.
Educational Background and Current Status
The detained doctor was a student at the prestigious Kanpur Heart Institute, where he had recently begun his postgraduate medical studies. The institution has confirmed his enrollment in the MD program but declined to comment further on the ongoing investigation.
Police sources indicate that the detention is part of a broader effort to uncover any support systems that might have assisted Umar Nabi or been involved in planning the Delhi blast. The investigation is focusing on determining the exact nature of the relationship between Dr Mir and the main accused.
Ongoing Investigation and Security Measures
This marks the second detention of a medical professional from Jammu and Kashmir in connection with the Delhi blast case. Security agencies have intensified their efforts to identify and question individuals who might have information about Umar Nabi's activities or connections.
The UP ATS has been working closely with central agencies to piece together the complete network behind the Delhi blast. The detention of Dr Aarif Mir represents a crucial development that could provide new leads in the investigation.
Authorities have maintained tight security around the case details while confirming that the investigation is progressing in multiple directions. The focus remains on uncovering any potential threats and preventing future incidents through proactive measures.
