Overview

  • Principal District and Sessions Judge Anju Bajaj Chandna permitted Jasir Bilal Wani to meet his counsel at the NIA headquarters.
  • The decision came a day after the Delhi High Court declined to grant exceptional relief without a trial court order and remanded the issue.
  • Wani was arrested in Srinagar on November 17 and has been in 10-day NIA custody since a November 18 remand.
  • The NIA alleges Wani is an active co-conspirator who provided technical support by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets, in a blast that killed 15 people on November 10.
  • Investigators say six suspects are in custody and report recovering about 3,000 kg of explosives from an interstate module, while unverified reports of JeM or ISI links remain under investigation.
