NEW DELHI – Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi made a scathing attack on Pakistan, calling May War as merely a “trailer” and noa t full-length movie.
His war-mongering comments come after a deadly explosion near the Red Fort in New Delhi, which left 12 people dead. General Dwivedi said, “The movie has not even started, only a trailer was shown, and it was over within 88 hours. We are fully prepared for the future, and if Pakistan gives us such an opportunity, we would like to provide them with a thorough lesson on how a responsible nation should behave toward its neighbors.”
May escalation was triggered by staged attack on tourists in Indian-occupied Kashmir, which New Delhi linked to Pakistan without presenting evidence. Pakistan strongly denied involvement and called for a neutral investigation. In response, India carried out airstrikes in Punjab and Azad Kashmir on May 7. Both sides exchanged retaliatory strikes over four days, with US intervention on May 10 helping secure a ceasefire.
Lately, Indian authorities presented suspect in court linked to New Delhi bombing. India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) alleged that Amir Rashid Ali “conspired with the alleged suicide bomber, Umarun Nabi, to unleash the terror attack.” Officials have not disclosed further details regarding motives or organizational support, though both suspects are reportedly from Indian-occupied Kashmir.
Ali was escorted under heavy security from police vehicle in New Delhi, where court ordered him to be held in NIA custody for 10 days. Nabi, a medical professor from Haryana state near the capital, allegedly collaborated with Ali, who had traveled to Delhi to assist in acquiring the car later used as a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (IED).
NIA announced arrest of another major associate from Srinagar in Indian-occupied Kashmir. According to agency, the individual “provided technical support for carrying out terror attacks, including modifying drones and attempting to make rockets” connected to the deadly car bomb blast that killed 10 and injured 32 people.
The suspect is resident of Qazigund in Anantnag district, who reportedly worked closely with Nabi to plan the attack. NIA said that it is exploring multiple angles to uncover the full conspiracy behind the blast, with teams conducting searches across several states to identify all involved parties.
