The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has intensified its scrutiny in the wake of the November 10 explosion near Delhi's Red Fort. On Tuesday, agency operatives, alongside police and CRPF personnel, combed the Anantnag district forest area in Jammu and Kashmir.

NIA officials, focusing on potential leads, took into custody two arrested individuals—Dr. Adeel Rather and Jasir Bilal Wani—implicated in what is being termed a 'white collar' terror operation. During inquiry sessions, the accused indicated the existence of hideouts within the Mattan forest.

The ongoing probe into these revelations remains closely monitored as officials eagerly await more details to emerge in this high-stakes investigation.
