Chicago – November 16, 2025
After the Delhi car bombing (near the Red Fort), analysts have noted that India is being unusually cautious in assigning blame, despite classifying the incident as a “terrorist attack.”
Some experts argue that because of India’s own “new doctrine” (declaring terrorist attacks as acts of war), publicly blaming Pakistan too hastily could force India into a kinetic military response, which it may not want right now.
On the Pakistan side, officials have accused “Indian proxies” of orchestrating violence inside Pakistan — reflecting how both countries are trading blame.
Analysts warn that escalating tensions could destabilize the region: if Pakistan perceives aggression, it may respond, potentially risking a wider conflict.
According to the National Medical Commission (NMC), four doctors from J&K — Dr Muzaffar Ahmad, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzamil Shakeel, and Dr Shaheen Saeed — have had their medical registrations canceled, because of “evidence collected by investigating agencies” linking them to the blast.
The J&K Police, along with other agencies, describe this as part of a “white-collar terror ecosystem” — educated professionals (i.e., these doctors) allegedly helping facilitate terror operations.
A very large cache of explosives was recovered in connection with this investigation: reportedly ~2,900 kg of explosives.
New Mode of Terrorism:
Authorities claim connections to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH).
According to a terrorism-update report, investigators allege that money was routed (e.g. via hawala) into this network for procurement of explosive precursors.
The module is said to use encrypted channels (Threema, Telegram) to communicate.
