Noman’s Family Demands Swift Punishment for Accused in Red Fort Blast

A year after Noman from Shamli was killed in a car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, his father Imran says the family is still waiting for justice. Imran has demanded that the accused in the blast case be punished as soon as possible. He said the family would feel that justice had been delivered only after those responsible were punished.

Speaking about the blast, Imran said the incident was not an attack on a village or on a small group of people. He described it as an attack on the country because Delhi is the national capital.

“We are sitting here, but we do not even know who is guilty and who is not. Our only demand is that whoever is guilty should be punished. Whoever did this did not carry out some small act. This was not an attack on a village. This was an attack on the country, on Delhi, which is our capital. This was an attack on the entire country. If the attackers are not punished, then what is the point? Slowly, the country itself will be destroyed. Our demand is only that the people who did this should be punished,” Imran said.

The blast took place on 10 November 2025 in a vehicle near Delhi’s Red Fort. Noman, who belonged to a town in the Jhinjhana police station area of Shamli, was killed in the explosion. Another companion travelling with him was injured.

Noman had gone to Delhi to buy goods for his cosmetics shop. He did not return. He was killed in the blast at the spot, according to the details shared in the news report.

Around a year has passed since the incident, but the accused in the blast case have still not been punished. On the anniversary of the blast, Noman’s father spoke about the family’s pain and repeated his demand for early punishment. He said Noman had gone only to buy goods and asked what his son’s fault had been.

Noman had started managing the family shop

Noman was the younger son of the family. At the time of his death in the Delhi blast, his brother Farman was struggling between life and death. Farman’s both kidneys had failed, and he was undergoing treatment.

Farman runs a cosmetics shop in the town. When his condition worsened because of his kidney problems, Noman began managing the shop. Noman later travelled to Delhi to purchase goods for the same shop. He was killed there in the blast.

Farman said his kidney transplant took place three months ago. Doctors had advised him to remain at home and rest, but the family’s financial condition forced him to sit at the shop.

“My younger brother was Noman. He had gone to Delhi to buy goods. I had a cosmetics shop, but my health had deteriorated and my kidneys had failed, so he had started sitting at the shop. He went to buy goods on this very day, and he lost his life there in the blast,” Farman said.

Farman added that he had recently undergone a kidney transplant and had been told by doctors to rest. However, he said he began sitting at the shop after considering the condition of the family.

“My kidney transplant has taken place recently. The doctor had told me not to do this, but seeing the condition of the family, I started sitting at the shop,” he said.

Farman also demanded that the people found responsible in the case be punished without delay. He said the family wanted justice for Noman.

“Our demand from the government is that whoever is guilty in this should be punished as soon as possible, so that we can also get justice. That is our only demand,” Farman said.

Imran is also on bed rest

Noman’s father Imran is currently on bed rest. A few days ago, he suffered a problem with his spinal cord after an accident. Doctors advised him to rest.

The family is therefore dealing with Noman’s death, Farman’s kidney treatment and Imran’s health problems at the same time. Despite these difficulties, Imran said the family’s main demand remained unchanged: the people responsible for the blast should be punished.

He said the family did not know who was guilty and who was not, but expected punishment for those who carried out the attack. Imran again stressed that the blast near the Red Fort was not merely an incident affecting one village or one family. According to him, because it took place in Delhi, the country’s capital, it amounted to an attack on the entire country.

The family says punishment for the accused is necessary before it can feel that Noman has received justice.
