Delhi Blast: Doctor allegedly calls suicide bombing a Martyrdom Operation in viral video

New Delhi: A shocking video of the doctor allegedly involved in the recent suicide bombing near Delhi's Red Fort has gone viral on social media. In the video, he attempts to justify suicide bombing by calling it a “misunderstood concept” and insisting it should be instead seen as a “martyrdom operation.”

According to recent media reports, in the video, the doctor purportedly seen saying, "One of the very misunderstood concepts is what has been labelled as suicide bombing. It is a martyrdom operation, and it is known in Islam. There are many arguments made against it. A martyrdom operation is when a person assumes he will surely die at a particular place and time, but in reality, no one can know for sure when they will die. We don’t have such certainty."

In simple words, the doctor argued that the public wrongly calls such attacks “suicide bombings.” He believes they should be called “martyrdom operations.” He claims that even if someone expects to die in such an attack, death is ultimately unpredictable, so it should not be seen as suicide and uses religious justification to promote the act.

He then purportedly seen saying, "The biggest mistake people make is failing to understand what the Liberia bombing, or the idea of suicide bombing, truly is. It is not democratic, nor can it be accepted in any civilised society. There are many contradictions and countless arguments against it."

"The core problem with suicide attacks is that when someone becomes convinced they will die at a specific time and place, they slip into a dangerous state of mind. They begin to believe that death is their only destination," he says.

He further adds, as per The Telegraph news report, "But the truth is that such thinking, or such circumstances, cannot be accepted in any democratic or humane system, because they violate the basic principles of life, society, and law."

The video has shocked the country because of its open promotion of an act of violence that killed nearly 13 innocent people and injured a dozen. The video is being treated as crucial evidence, giving insight into his mindset and ideological justification.

As per The Telegraph news report, the video is reported to have been recorded two months before the blast, as per investigation sources. According to officials, his movements before and after the explosion matched those of the bomber seen on CCTV, and surveillance placed him in the vicinity minutes before the attack. Evidence recovered from the scene led agencies to identify him as a key operative.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported about the deadly car blast near the Red Fort area in New Delhi. The blast killed 13 people and injured many. The doctor who was driving the Hyundai i20 that exploded near Red Fort is suspected to be the leader of a "white-collar group" of doctors in the terror module.

He is alleged to have motivated other doctors to join the 10/11 blast plot. The doctor had moved to Faridabad around one and a half years ago and was working as an Assistant Professor at Al Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research. He completed his MBBS from Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar, and was among the state toppers in NEET-PG, securing an MD seat at the same college.

The blast came hours after eight people, including three doctors connected to the university, were arrested and 2,900 kilograms of explosives were seized with the uncovering of a "white-collar terror module" involving the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind and spanning Kashmir, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
