Court sends Delhi blast accused’s aide to NIA custody for 10 days

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

Jasir alias Danish was produced in the Patiala House Court in Delhi by the Anti-Terror Agency today 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 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 main accused’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)
