Authorities said that a deadly car blast in New Delhi last week was an attack carried out by a “suicide bomber”, announcing the arrest of an accomplice.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), the country’s counter-terrorism law enforcement body, said the alleged attacker and the second suspect were both from Indian-administered Kash­mir, where police have carried out sweeping raids in recent days.
