TATP was home-made after experiments to perfect mixtures
A National Investigation Agency charge sheet in the 2025 Red Fort blast case says the attackers used triacetone triperoxide (TATP) in a vehicle-borne IED that killed 11 people and caused major property damage.

It also links 10 accused, including the deceased Dr Umer Un Nabi, to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind and an alleged “Operation Heavenly Hind” plot targeting India’s government and security forces.
