India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a 7,500-page chargesheet in the November 2024 Red Fort car blast, which killed 11 people. A key accused, Jasir Bilal Wani, served as the "in-house engineer" for Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, an Al-Qaida offshoot in the Indian Subcontinent. Wani utilized ChatGPT to research rocket IED construction, querying the platform for explosive mixture ratios and fabrication methods.
The NIA described his approach as "almost laboratory-grade," noting he tested rocket IEDs in forests, procured trigger components via consumer e-commerce using cash-on-delivery, and demonstrated functional IED fabrication before NIA experts. The primary explosive, TATP, was synthesized after iterative experimentation. The cell included radicalized medical professionals, and a co-accused provided drones for payload extension to attack security installations. This case documents an operational instance of AI-assisted weapons research, providing a concrete data point for policy debates on AI model safeguards and user behavior.
