Were ChatGPT, YouTube used for Delhi Red Fort blast? Report reveals shocking details

AI summary

In the charge sheet for the Delhi Red Fort bombing case, India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) alleges that the main accused, Jasir Bilal Wani, used YouTube and ChatGPT to research improvised explosive device (IED) designs, rocket manufacturing techniques, and ideal chemical ratios for explosive mixtures. The NIA filed a 7,500-page charge sheet on May 14 in this case, charging 10 defendants, and the case involves a high-intensity explosion in November 2025. Wani is alleged to be the main IED maker for Al Qaeda affiliate Al Ghazwa Ul Hind (AGuH), and the NIA says he relied on online tutorials and AI-assisted answers at every stage of his explosive engineering experiments, calling this reliance the democratization of terrorist technology. The charge sheet also alleges that another defendant, Adeel Ahmed Rather, provided powdered sugar and potassium nitrate extracted from NPK fertilizer as propellant ingredients, and the defendants also purchased trigger devices such as inductive proximity switches and RF remote relays via Flipkart with cash on delivery.
