NIA Secures Custody of Second Aide Linked to Delhi Suicide Bomber

SRINAGAR: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday was granted a 10-day custody of the Delhi blast suicide bomber’s another aide, Jasir Bilal Wani, by the special anti-terror agency court in Delhi.

According to details, Jasir alias Danish was produced in the Patiala House Court in Delhi by the Anti-Terror Agency this afternoon. Jasir, a resident of Qazigund in Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested by the NIA on Monday in the Delhi blast case.

The court granted 10-day custody of Jasir, another key aide of Delhi suicide bomber Dr Umar Mohammad, to the Anti-Terror Agency. At least 15 people were killed and several others were injured after a high-intensity blast ripped through a car near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort last week.

On Sunday, the NIA made the first breakthrough in the Delhi blast case by arresting the suicide bomber’s key aide, Amir Ali.

“The NIA investigations have revealed that Jasir had allegedly provided technical support for carrying out terror attacks by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets ahead of the deadly blast,” the NIA said on Monday.

The NIA had said that he was an active co-conspirator behind the attack and had worked closely with the terrorist, Umar un Nabi, to plan the terror carnage.

“The NIA continues to explore various angles to unravel the conspiracy behind the bombing. Several teams of the anti-terror agency are pursuing multiple leads and are conducting searches across states to identify every person involved in the terror attack,” it had said. (KNO)
