New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said this week that it arrested a Faridabad resident for allegedly harboring terrorist Umar-un Nabi immediately before the Delhi Red Fort car bomb blast. “Mohammad Soyab, a resident of Dhauj, Faridabad (Haryana), is the seventh accused to be arrested in the case,” news agency ANI quoted the NIA as saying.
The agency said investigations revealed that Soyab “had also provided logistical support to the terrorist Umar before the 10th November car bombing that killed several persons and injured many others outside the Red Fort in the national capital.”
“The NIA had earlier arrested six other key aides of the car bomber Umar over the course of its investigation in the case,” the agency was quoted as saying.
"The agency continues to pursue various leads in connection with the suicide bombing, and has been conducting searches across states in coordination with the respective police forces in a bid to identify and track others involved in the gruesome attack," the spokesperson said in a statement, as per PTI.
On November 10, a high-intensity blast ripped through an explosive-laden car near Delhi's Red Fort metro station, killing several people. Umar-un Nabi, a doctor and assistant professor at Al Falah University, was identified as the "suicide bomber" who drove the explosive-laden Hyundai i20 car that detonated outside the Red Fort.
