More than two weeks after Red Fort car blast, it has been revealed that suicide bomber Dr Umar un Nabi did not get along with the Faridabad-based Jaish-e-Mohammed module comprising Dr Muzammil Shakeel, Dr Adeel Rather and Dr Shaheen Shahid. He instead followed ISIS ideology, according to a report.
Umar disagreed with Dr Muzammil Shakeel and Dr Adeel Rather over their Jaish ideology and attack strategy, according to sources cited by Times Now. The doctors originally wanted to fight in Afghanistan or Syria but their Jaish handlers guided them to focus on operations in India and plot attacks in several areas.
He also had a fallout over terror funding the module received, including Rs 20 lakh via hawala and Rs 40 lakh from Jamat, the new outlet quoted sources as saying.
The strained ties prompted Umar to skip Adeel's wedding in October, when the suspects reportedly gathered to plot the multi-city attack on December 6, the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition.
Umar Nabi also had arguments with the members of the Jaish-e-Mohammed terror module over the funds. The group received Rs 20 lakh through hawala and Rs 40 lakh received from Jamat, sources said.
Weeks before the Red Fort blast, Umar reached Jammu and Kashmir's Qazigund to settle disputes but was forced to come back to Delhi following the arrest of some terror suspects linked to him.
Sources also claimed that Umar wanted to avenge the 2016 killing of Hizbul Mujahideen operative Burhan Wani and the abrogation of Article 370. He had attended protests over Wani's death and saw himself as the Hizbul terrorist's successor.
Earlier, it was revealed that Umar was "reckless" while Muzammil was "calm and methodical". It was Muzammil who provided logistical support for the Jaish module under the guidance of foreign handlers Ukasha, Mansoor and Hashim.
“His calm, methodical approach made him the logistical backbone of the doctor module," a News18 report quoted sources as saying.
Umar, however, wanted to carry out attacks without delay. But Muzammil was worried about jeopardising the module and insisted on a long-term view, including recruiting more educated Muslims and expanding the module.
