A week after the blast near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort, which claimed 13 lives, a self-recorded and undated video of bomber Dr Umar Mohammad, also known as Umar-un-Nabi, has emerged. The footage provides the first direct insight into the mindset of the man behind the attack.

In the video, Umar is heard discussing suicide bombing and its perceived religious justification. He calls suicide bombing a “martyrdom operation”, adding, “One of the very misunderstood concepts is the concept of what has been labelled as suicide bombing. It is a martyrdom operation… known in Islam.”
He further says a “martyrdom” act involves someone assuming they will die at a specific place and time. The young doctor claims that no one can predict the exact moment of death, adding, “Don’t fear death.”
Umar Attempts to Justify Suicide Bombing
Although suicide is forbidden in Islam, the video shows Umar trying to justify suicide bombing as an act of “martyrdom”. Speaking in English with an accent, he appears calm and articulate, indicating deep ideological radicalisation.

His measured tone and detailed explanations reveal that he had thought extensively about the subject. The footage portrays a new pattern of terrorism in India — educated, radicalised, and calculative individuals involved in violent plots.
The emergence of the video also clarifies that the Delhi car blast was planned, countering speculation that the explosion may have occurred inadvertently during the transportation of explosives.
Terror Module Linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and AGH
The unfolding conspiracy has highlighted how terror organisations such as Jaish-e-Mohammed are now recruiting highly educated professionals, including doctors. Earlier this month, after a large explosive recovery in Faridabad, the Jammu and Kashmir Police announced that they had busted an inter-state and transnational terror module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind.
According to investigators, the module operated as a “white collar terror ecosystem” involving radicalised students and professionals connected with foreign handlers.
Officials stated, “The group has been using encrypted channels for indoctrination, coordination, fund movement and logistics. Funds were raised through professional and academic networks under the guise of social and charitable causes.”
