Four arrested over deadly Delhi blast


THE anti-terrorism agency arrested four more people, including three doctors, in connection with last week’s deadly car blast in Delhi, the first such attack in the capital in more than a decade.

The car bomb killed 10 people and wounded 32 outside the historic Red Fort on Nov 10.

The four “prime accused” have been identified as Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganai, Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather, and Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, who come from Indian Kashmir, and Dr Shaheen Saeed from the northern city of Lucknow, the National Investigation Agency said.

“They had all played a key role in the terror attack,” the agency said in a statement on X.

Their families denied that accusation at the time and said they were innocent.

The NIA added that it had arrested two other people over Sunday and Monday. — Reuters
