NIA Arrests Ludhiana MBBS Graduate in West Bengal in Red Fort Blast Probe

Authorities say no link to the Red Fort blast has been established, with forensic testing ongoing.

Overview

  • Janisur (Jahnisar) Alam, an Al Falah University MBBS graduate, was picked up in Uttar Dinajpur and is being questioned in Siliguri.
  • Officials say digital devices and documents were seized from Alam, who was intercepted after being spotted at local transit points.
  • Investigators state they have yet to find a direct connection between Alam and the Delhi explosion, and laboratory analyses of evidence are in progress.
  • The probe is examining possible links to a Faridabad module where large quantities of explosive precursors were seized and to migrant worker Moinul Hasan raided in Murshidabad.
  • Relatives say Alam had traveled from Ludhiana to attend family events, while an agency source claims he attempted to flee during initial questioning.
