The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday conducted a raid at the Lucknow residence of Dr Shaheen Shahid, who is accused of masterminding the recent Delhi car blast.
"The punishment for the culprits of the Delhi car blast will send a message to the world that no terrorist should even dare to think of committing such an act in India," Shah said while inaugurating the Shri Motibhai R. Chaudhary Sagar Sainik School (MRCSSS) and the Sagar Organic Plant in Gujarat through video conferencing.
After the death toll in the blast near Red Fort climbed to 12, with three more people succumbing to their injuries, the FSL and Delhi Police team recovered a body part to supplement the ongoing probe. The remains were sent for forensic examination.
Modi, who today arrived in Bhutan for a two-day vist, further said, “Today I have come here with a heavy heart. Yesterday’s incident in Delhi has shocked everyone. I understand the grief of the affected families. The entire nation stands with them today.”
An FIR has been registered at the Kotwali Police Station under the UAPA, the Explosives Act, and sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), according to police officials. The FIR includes Sections 16 and 18 of the UAPA, dealing with punishment and conspiracy for a terror attack.
