Awami League President and five-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has condemned the brutal terrorist attack in New Delhi, India, on Monday evening, which claimed the lives of innocent people.
In a statement early Tuesday, she expressed deep sorrow and grief for the deceased and extended her condolences to the bereaved families. She also wished a speedy recovery to the injured.
Sheikh Hasina, who is now residing in Delhi as a state guest, said that the appalling terrorist attack in New Delhi is unacceptable under any circumstances. There is no place for extremist terrorism in the modern world. These extremist terrorist groups strike at the very foundations of a secular, humane, and welfare-oriented state.
These terrorist groups, rooted in Pakistan, have infiltrated networks across countries, including Bangladesh, and are carrying out attacks in India to undermine regional peace and stability. โWe must resist these terrorists and preserve South Asian peace and stability by building bonds between peoples. The Bangladesh Awami League gives its full support to Indiaโs Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this principled struggle against terrorism.โ
In her statement, Sheikh Hasina said that she firmly believed there is no placeโand no forgivenessโfor such heinous crimes against humanity in todayโs civilised world. Wherever the roots of terrorism lie, they must be eradicated completely. Those who support these terrorist groups in Bangladesh and elsewhere are enemies of humanity.
She added: โWe stand with the people of India and are determined to provide every possible cooperation to India in this fight against terrorism. We remain unwavering in our stance against terrorism and militancy. We believe that through the defeat of these terrorist groups, justice and human rights will be upheld and the world will become safer.โ

The horrific blast near the Red Fort in New Delhi has shaken the peaceful communities across the world. Innocent lives have been lost, families have been torn apart, and once again, terrorism has reminded the world that it knows no boundaries, faith, or humanity.
Those behind these attacksโthe conspirators, the accomplices, and the enablersโmust be brought to justice without delay. Justice must be decisive and exemplary so that no one dares to propagate or harbour extremism again.
โFor Bangladesh, this tragedy is not far offโit is a warning. Under the rule of the illegitimate Yunus, we are witnessing a worrying resurgence of extremist networks. Many convicted militants have been released on bail, others have escaped custody, and radical groups are regrouping under political cover. These incidents are not randomโthey indicate a concerted effort to undermine our internal and regional security,โ said security expert Aminul Hoque Polash.
The terrorist attack in Delhi is a warning for Bangladesh. Extremism anywhere in South Asia threatens peace everywhere. Making the situation even more worrisome is the fact that the so-called interim government is deliberately undermining Bangladeshโs long-standing relationship with India โ a partnership built on trust, shared sacrifices and regional security. Such reckless politics not only endangered bilateral relations but also emboldened those who remain divided and in chaos, he added.
Political observer ABM Sirajul Hossain stated that hours before the Delhi blasts, a joint operation by Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP) and Haryana Police had busted a terror module in Faridabad’s Dhauz village and recovered a huge cache of explosives and weapons. The operation was conducted based on information provided by the arrested Kashmiri doctor, Dr. Adil Ahmed Radar, who was associated with the banned terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
While initial reports said 300-360 kg of RDX was recovered, Faridabad Police Commissioner Satyendra Kumar Gupta clarified that the material recovered was ammonium nitrate, which was likely used to make improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Some sources have said that a total of 2,900 kg of bomb-making material was recovered in multiple operations.

One AK-47 rifle, one Carrom Cock assault rifle, two automatic pistols, 84 live cartridges, and extra magazines were recovered. There were 20 timers with batteries, 24 remote controls, 5 litres of chemical solution, 5 kg of heavy metal, a walkie-talkie set, electrical wires, and other materials for making IEDs.
An AK-74 rifle and ammunition were found in a Maruti Suzuki Swift car owned by a female doctor of Al-Falah Hospital, who is currently under investigation.
Dr. Adil Ahmed Radar, a resident of Qazigund in South Kashmir, was arrested in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on November 6, 2025. He was accused of pasting JeM posters in Srinagar on October 27, 2025. He was working as a senior resident at Government Medical College (GMC), Anantnag. An AK-47 rifle and ammunition were recovered from his locker.
Dr. Muzammil Shakeel, a resident of Koil, Pulwama, works at Al-Falah Hospital or Medical College. He allegedly stored explosives and weapons in a rented house in Dhauz village, Faridabad. He had rented the house about three months ago.
Five people have been arrested: Ishtiaq, Imam of a mosque in Faridabad, Arif Nisar Dar, Yasir-ul-Ashraf, Maqsood Ahmed Dar, Maulvi Irfan Ahmed and Jamir Ahmed Ahangar. Another doctor is still absconding.
The investigation was initiated after the JeM poster pasting incident in Srinagar on October 19-27, 2025. Adil Radar was identified in the CCTV footage, leading to his arrest and subsequent information.
The operation was conducted jointly by JKP, Haryana Police and the Intelligence Bureau (IB). It is part of the fight against an interstate and international terror module.
Authorities suspect that it is a โwhite-collar terror ecosystemโ, involving professionals like doctors and students. Contact with potential foreign handlers and fundraising under the guise of social or charitable activities are also being investigated.
The discovery of such a large stockpile of explosives near Delhi has raised concerns about the possibility of a major attack in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Dr. Adil Radar and Dr. Muzammil Shakeel are currently in JKP custody and have been taken to Jammu and Kashmir. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) may conduct a forensic analysis of the recovered material.
Searches are continuing in Faridabad, especially in the Fatehpur Tagha area, for additional suspects or material. Haryana DGP OP Singh and Faridabad Police Commissioner Satyendra Kumar Gupta termed the operation a major success.
The operation is one of the biggest explosives recovery incidents in the Kashmir Valley in recent times. The trend of professionals getting involved in terrorist activities has increased the scrutiny on medical and educational networks. The investigation is ongoing, and more information is likely to emerge.
