New Delhi— A Delhi court on Thursday remanded Jasir Bilal Wani, a key accused in the Red Fort blast case, to seven more days of NIA custody.
Wani was produced before the court as his previous 10-day remand, granted by Principal Sessions and District Judge Anju Bajaj Chandna on November 18, expired today.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) told the court that further custodial interrogation was required to uncover the extent of Wani’s involvement and his links to other operatives.
Wani, a resident of Qazigund in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested in Srinagar on November 17. According to investigators, he allegedly provided technical support for terror activities, including modifying drones and attempting to develop rocket-based mechanisms in the run-up to the November 10 Red Fort blast.
The agency is probing whether Wani had access to broader networks and the degree of technological expertise used to execute the attack.
