Security agencies investigating the Delhi blasts are now uncovering deeper layers of what they describe as a sophisticated white-collar terror module. The latest breakthrough came after forensic examination of the mobile phone of accused terrorist Danish, which has revealed several critical pieces of evidence.

According to investigators, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) recovered dozens of drone photographs from Danish’s deleted phone history. The presence of these images has intensified suspicion that the group was planning drone-based strikes similar to Hamas-style aerial attacks used in conflict zones.

A senior official stated that the photos included images of lightweight drones designed to travel nearly 25 kilometers. During interrogation, Danish reportedly disclosed details related to the drone-attack plans and admitted that efforts were underway to develop models capable of carrying small explosive payloads.

Pictures of rocket launchers also found
Apart from drones, investigators discovered images of rocket launchers and several videos explaining methods to convert drones into explosive-carrying weapons. These videos allegedly showed ways to attach and detonate explosives using remote triggers.

Authorities believe these instructional materials were sent to Danish through an encrypted app. The NIA is now examining multiple suspicious foreign numbers linked to the same platform.

Who is Danish?
The accused, identified as Jaseer Bilal alias Danish, is believed to be one of the key co-conspirators in the Delhi blast case. He was arrested on November 17 from Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir.

Investigators claim that Danish was being groomed by Dr. Umar — the main accused in the Red Fort attack — possibly as a suicide bomber for future attacks in Delhi. Danish, a resident of Qazigund in Anantnag district, is also suspected of providing technical assistance to Umar, particularly in assembling explosive devices.

The Delhi blast
On November 10, 2025, a car bomb detonated near Delhi’s Red Fort, killing at least 15 people and injuring more than 20. Early findings point toward a white-collar terror network with links to Pakistan-based groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind. The NIA believes this module was operating through a mix of ground operatives and technologically skilled handlers working behind the scenes.
