The Story in Brief
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a 7,500-page chargesheet in the November 10 Red Fort area car blast that killed 11 people. The agency says accused Jasir Bilal Wani, an engineer linked to the Al-Qaida offshoot Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, misused ChatGPT and YouTube to learn how to make rocket IEDs. He allegedly tested the devices in Anantnag’s Qazigund and Youshmurg forests with three doctors from Al Falah University in Faridabad.
The chargesheet details procurement of trigger components through Flipkart and use of Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP) explosive. The accused driver, Dr Umer un Nabi, detonated the vehicle-borne IED. The NIA also recovered drone parts, saying the group planned to weaponise UAVs for attacks in Kashmir.
The Indian Opinion
The NIA’s chargesheet is being spun as a story of AI run amok, but the real alarm is older: common fertiliser and YouTube tutorials have been enough for homemade bombs for years. Making AI the villain lets us ignore that the accused were funded, housed, and trained at a university campus under multiple agencies’ watch. The test now is not what ChatGPT can do, but why no one stopped a dozen doctors and engineers months of bomb-making in a forest.
