New Delhi:
Jasir Bilal Wani, an “active co-conspirator” of the Delhi suicide bomber, Umar un Nabi, has been arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). NDTV has now accessed an exclusive picture of Wani, a resident of Qazigund in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag, who was arrested from Srinagar.
In a statement on Monday, the NIA said that Wani provided “technical support for carrying out terror attacks by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets” ahead of the bomb blast near Red Fort, which left 15 people dead last Monday.
Wani also goes by the alias of Danish, the anti-terror agency said.
“The accused, a resident of Qazigund in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir, was an active co-conspirator behind the attack and had worked closely with the terrorist, Umar un Nabi, to plan the terror carnage,” the NIA said.
Umar un Nabi was driving the Hyundai i20 car which exploded near the Red Fort Metro Station.
The NIA described Umar, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama who worked at the Al-Falah University in Haryana’s Faridabad, as a “suicide bomber” and used the term “vehicle-borne IED” for the car.
“Several teams of the anti-terror agency are pursuing multiple leads, and are conducting searches across states to identify every person involved in the terror attack,” the anti-terror agency said.
