Delhi Court Extends NIA Custody of Three Doctors and Preacher by Four Days in Red Fort Blast Probe

Investigators seek time to pursue multi-state leads on planning, funding, recruitment.

Overview

  • Principal and Sessions Judge Anju Bajaj Chandna ordered the extension after the 10-day remand granted on November 29 expired.
  • The four accused produced in court were Dr Muzammil Ganai, Dr Adeel Rather, Dr Shaheena Saeed and Maulvi Irfan Ahmed Wagay.
  • The NIA says it has arrested seven people so far and is conducting coordinated searches across several states to identify additional suspects.
  • Proceedings at the Patiala House district court were held under tight security, with mediapersons barred from the courtroom.
  • Investigators link the case to a 'white-collar' module earlier flagged by the Jammu and Kashmir Police; the November 10 car bombing outside the Red Fort killed 15, and the driver, Dr Umar-un-Nabi, died in the blast.
