Delhi blast: NIA arrests seventh accused for 'harbouring' Red Fort bomber

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday said it has arrested a Faridabad resident for allegedly harbouring Umar-un Nabi, who is said to have driven the explosives-laden car that blasted outside the Red Fort in Delhi on November 10, killing 15 people.

The agency arrested Soyab, a resident of Dhauj in Haryana's Faridabad, for allegedly providing logistical support to "terrorist Umar Un Nabi" before the Red Fort blast, said an NIA spokesperson.

Soyab is the seventh accused arrested by the NIA in the case, part of a "white-collar" terror module busted by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.


"The agency continues to pursue various leads in connection with the suicide bombing, and has been conducting searches across states in coordination with the respective police forces in a bid to identify and track others involved in the gruesome attack," the spokesperson said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the NIA on Wednesday produced the two accused arrested in connection with the Red Fort blast case before a Delhi court.

The accused, Soyab and Amir Rashid Ali, were produced before Principal District and Sessions Judge Anju Bajaj Chandna. The court sent them to 10-day judicial custody.
