The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a Faridabad resident for harbouring terrorist Umar Un Nabi, the main accused in the Delhi Blast case, immediately before the terror act was carried out. Umar had driven the explosive-laden car that blasted near the Red Fort on November 10, killing 15 people.
Soyab of Dhauj, Faridabad, Haryana, is the seventh accused to be arrested in the case. NIA investigations have revealed that he had also provided logistical support to the terrorist Umar before the 10th November car bombing outside the Red Fort in the national capital.
