The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is currently carrying out search operations in South Kashmir in connection with the November 10 Delhi Blast case.
A source said that search operations were ongoing at various locations in Shopian and other areas of Kashmir, including the premises belonging to Dr Adil Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzaffar Ahmad Rather, Dr Jasif Bilal Wani, and Maulvi Irfan.
The source said that the search operation started early Monday, and more than 15 NIA teams were pressed into service.
The NIA has so far arrested six people in connection with the Red Fort blast case. Initially registered by the Delhi Police, the case was later transferred to the NIA by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The NIA has confirmed that a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) was used in the Delhi blast by Dr Umar Nabi, a suicide bomber. He was driving an i20 car that was used as a VBIED, which exploded outside the Red Fort, killing 15 people and injuring over 30.
Separately, the Crime Branch of Delhi Police has registered two FIRs and issued two summons to Javed Ahmed Siddiqui, Chairman of Al Falah University. Following the Delhi Police FIR, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also registered a Prevention of Money Laundering Act case and arrested Siddiqui after conducting raids.
