New Delhi, Nov 29 (NationPress) A court in Delhi has officially prolonged the custody of four suspects linked to the Delhi blast case for an additional 10 days, granting the National Investigation Agency (NIA) more time to conduct their investigation.

The individuals under investigation include Dr Muzammil Shakeel, Dr Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, and Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather.

After the court's decision, the accused were escorted from the Patiala House Court to the NIA headquarters for intensive questioning.

On November 10, a car explosion near Delhi's Red Fort resulted in the deaths of 13 individuals and left many others injured, prompting a comprehensive investigation that uncovered a complex 'white-collar' terror network linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Prior to the explosion, multiple arrests had been made across various states, leading investigators to connect the dots of an interstate terror module.

In the aftermath of the blast, the NIA discovered that the event was tied to previous arrests, revealing a series of new insights as the investigation progressed.

So far, the NIA has detained seven people in connection with the explosion involving a Hyundai i20 driven by Dr Umar Muhammad, which detonated near the Lal Qila Metro station.

The explosion occurred in the Hyundai i20 at 6:52 p.m., resulting in a scene of devastation with mangled bodies and damaged vehicles in the bustling area.

Dr Shakeel hails from Pulwama, Dr Rather from Anantnag, Wagay from Shopian (all in Jammu and Kashmir), while Dr Saeed is originally from Lucknow.

Investigators have indicated that these suspects played crucial roles in orchestrating the attack that resulted in numerous casualties and injuries.

Earlier apprehensions included Amir Rashid Ali, the registered owner of the vehicle involved in the blast, Jasir Bilal Wani, who offered technical support to the terrorists, and Soyab, who allegedly provided shelter to Umar and logistical assistance shortly before the explosion.

Further investigations are ongoing.
