In a move signalling serious action, authorities in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pulwama district brought down the two-storey home of Dr Umar Nabi—identified as the driver of the car that exploded near Delhi’s Red Fort.

The demolition was carried out overnight by security agencies, who cited investigation findings and identity confirmation via DNA match.

Neighbours describe a quiet residence in Koil village where Umar was once seen as a promising medical student. Now, the deserted shell of his home stands as a stark symbol of unfolding events.

According to officials, this operation is part of a larger investigation into the terror module responsible for the Red Fort blast, which includes investigating how the car was obtained, the explosives sourced, and the networks involved.

As investigations continue, the demolition sends a clear message that the state is holding accountable not only the individual linked to the attack but also the infrastructure that enabled such threats.
