New Delhi (The COW News Digital) Indian investigative authorities have claimed the arrest of an associate of the suicide bomber involved in the recent Red Fort blast. According to reports, the suspect, identified as Aamir Rasheed, was apprehended in New Delhi. Authorities say the vehicle used in the attack was registered in Rasheed’s name, linking him to the incident.
However, media reports point out that Rasheed and others were reportedly arrested on November 11, raising questions about why his re-arrest on November 16 is being presented as a breakthrough. Analysts have speculated whether this move signals the uncovering of a new plot or a renewed phase in the ongoing investigation.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has described Rasheed’s alleged apprehension as a significant step forward in probing the Red Fort attack. Authorities maintain that his arrest could provide critical leads regarding the planning and execution of the bombing.
The blast, which shook India’s historic Red Fort complex, had raised security concerns nationwide, particularly regarding potential threats during public gatherings and high-profile events. Following the attack, Indian agencies intensified their operations to identify and neutralize individuals and networks connected to the bombing.
Officials have emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and that further arrests may follow as new evidence emerges. The NIA has also reiterated its commitment to ensuring that those responsible for the attack are brought to justice and that any additional conspiracies are uncovered.
Security analysts note that while the re-arrest of a previously detained suspect may appear confusing, it can be part of a broader strategy to extract additional information or corroborate intelligence obtained during the initial investigation. The authorities have not clarified whether the latest arrest indicates the discovery of fresh links or operational networks tied to the Red Fort blast.
Public attention remains focused on the progress of the investigation, as the government and law enforcement agencies work to reassure citizens and strengthen security measures in sensitive locations. Meanwhile, debates continue in Indian media regarding the transparency and timing of the arrests, as the nation awaits further official updates.
