Dr Shaheena Saeed, a key suspect in the Delhi Red Fort blast, reportedly told colleagues that her “real work” began after 4 pm, once she finished teaching at Al Falah University in Faridabad.

Colleagues said she often carried a rosary and religious books and broke university rules by leaving campus without notice. The university, which recently received a NAAC show-cause notice, has denied any link to the case and said it is fully cooperating with the investigation into the November 10 terror blast.

The Supreme Court on Thursday raised alarm over Delhi’s worsening pollution and advised lawyers to appear virtually. Justice PS Narsimha said, “Why are you all appearing here?

It will not suffice.” The court’s remarks came as Delhi remained shrouded in thick smog, with air quality in the ‘severe’ range for the third straight day.

Investigators revealed a five-phase terror plot targeting Delhi with coordinated bombings across six to seven locations. The module, linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, procured raw materials from Nuh and Gurugram, manufactured chemical IEDs, and conducted reconnaissance of targets. Originally planned for August, the attack was rescheduled for December 6 marking the Babri Masjid demolition anniversary. Jaish chief Masood Azhar has repeatedly threatened revenge for the 1992 demolition. The plot unraveled when 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate was recovered during Faridabad raids.
