At the Nowgam police station in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, an explosion rocked the premises late Friday night, injuring at least eight personnel, including police officers and a forensic team. The blast occurred during a routine inspection of ammonium nitrate—seized earlier in connection with a “white-collar” terror module from Faridabad. Vehicles in the compound were damaged, and emergency responders were forced to close roads leading to the station. Authorities are investigating whether the explosion was caused by mishandling or chemical instability. 

In the recent Bihar Assembly elections, a surge of female participation proved decisive in securing a strong victory for Nitish Kumar’s NDA alliance. Women’s voting turnout—around 71%—far outpaced men’s, reflecting deep support for schemes such as the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana, which provided ₹10,000 to over a crore women. Combined with long-term policies like panchayat reservations and self-help groups (Jeevika), this “women-first” strategy consolidated a reliable vote base, tipping the electoral balance firmly in favor of Kumar.

Security forces on Friday razed the house of Dr Umar Nabi in Pulwama, Jammu & Kashmir. Nabi is accused of orchestrating the November 10 car-bombing near Delhi’s Red Fort that killed 13 people. Investigations reveal he was part of a terror module linked to both Jaish‑e‑Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat‑ul‑Hind, operating under the guidance of a foreign handler codenamed “Ukasa”. The plot traced back to Turkey in 2022 where the group allegedly trained and communicated via encrypted apps to carry out multi-city attacks. 

Under Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is projected to lead in just 32 of the 143 seats it contested in the 2025 Bihar elections, marking its second-worst performance in the state’s history. While the RJD still claims the highest vote share among parties—a sign of strong individual margins—it failed to convert votes into seats, suffering a collapse in close contests. At the same time, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) appear set to return to power in a significant win. (PC: NDTV)

A car laden with explosives detonated near the Red Fort metro station in New Delhi, killing at least eight people and injuring around 20. The incident is being investigated as a terror act under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) taking over the probe amid links to a suspected module connected to Jaish‑e‑Mohammed. Authorities also revealed massive arms and explosives caches found in a related operation in Faridabad, suggesting the blast may be the culmination of a coordinated terror network. (PC: NDTV)

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the Delhi blast but warned against branding all Kashmiris as terrorists following the Red Fort car explosion that killed 13 people on November 10. He demanded the harshest punishment for perpetrators while emphasizing "every resident of Jammu and Kashmir is not a terrorist." The blast, triggered by Dr Umar Nabi from Pulwama, exposed a terror network across Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Police recovered 360 kg ammonium nitrate from Faridabad before the explosion, arresting Dr Muzammil Ganaie and seven others. Abdullah criticized past administrative failures, questioning why Dr Arif Nisar Dar, dismissed in 2023 for alleged terror links, wasn't prosecuted properly.

India Today's Special Investigation Team uncovered disturbing details at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, where Delhi blast suicide bomber Dr Umar Mohammad once taught. Students revealed he enforced "Taliban-style" classroom segregation, forcing boys and girls to sit separately during lectures. Dr Umar lived in the university hostel and was described as reserved by staff. His associate Dr Muzammil Saeed Ganai rented two rooms nearby, deceiving landlords to store explosives. Students praised arrested terror suspect Dr Shaheen Saeed as an excellent teacher. Following the Red Fort blast that killed 13, patient numbers at the university hospital dropped sharply. The investigation reveals how the "doctors' terror module" operated within an educational institution, blending academic life with terror activities. (PC: India Today & The Indian Express)

Security forces demolished the Pulwama residence of Dr Umar Nabi on Friday, the man linked to the Delhi blast near Red Fort. The structure in Koil village was razed as part of the ongoing investigation. The car explosion on Monday evening killed at least 10 people and injured several others. Umar was identified as the driver of the explosive-laden Hyundai i20 after DNA samples from the blast site matched his mother's. He worked as an assistant professor at Al Falah University in Faridabad. Delhi Police linked him to Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie and Dr Adeel Rather, arrested last week for allegedly storing over 2,900 kgs of ammonium nitrate, detonators, timers, and assault rifles.

The probe into the Delhi car blast that killed 13 people has found a link to Dubai. Investigators questioned accused doctor Adil Ahmed Rather, who said his brother travelled to Pakistan and then to Dubai two months ago. Officers suspect he arranged funds for the terror plan and had links to Jaish-e-Mohammed. Police also confirmed that Dr Umar Mohammad drove the i20 car that exploded near Red Fort. His DNA matched remains found in the vehicle. Investigators say the group planned blasts at six locations on December 6. A huge explosives recovery in Faridabad likely stopped a bigger attack.
