Red Fort Blast: Amir Rashid Ali's Custody Extended Amid Ongoing Investigation

A Delhi court extended the NIA custody of Amir Rashid Ali, linked to the Red Fort blast, for another week. Ali, accused of facilitating the attack, was arrested by the NIA on November 16. The blast, which killed 15 and injured over two dozen, involved a car registered to Amir.

In a significant development in the Red Fort blast case, a Delhi court has extended the NIA custody of Amir Rashid Ali by seven days. The extension follows Amir's initial detention on December 2, marking continued investigative proceedings.

Amir Rashid Ali, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir, faces allegations of facilitating the deadly explosion at Delhi's Red Fort. Arrested on November 16, Amir's connection to the blast stems from his involvement with a vehicle used as an IED, further implicating his role in the terror plot.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has apprehended seven suspects linked to the case, which is connected to a 'white collar' terror module uncovered by Jammu and Kashmir Police. Ongoing investigations have interrogated 73 witnesses, with authorities focusing on a car registered in Amir's name and additional evidence, including a second vehicle under examination.
