The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a Faridabad resident for allegedly harbouring the “terrorist” Umar-Un-Nabi, who was at the wheel of the car that exploded near the Red Fort here on November 10.
The accused has been identified as Soyab of Dhauj in Faridabad, Haryana. This is the seventh arrest in the case so far.

The Patiala House Court in Delhi has remanded Mr. Soyab to 10 days of NIA custody in the Red Fort blast case.
“NIA investigations have revealed that he had also provided logistical support to the terrorist Umar before the November 10 car bombing that killed several persons and injured many others outside the Red Fort in the national capital,” the agency said.
“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 NIA said.
The NIA earlier arrested two accused persons, and took into custody four others who were previously arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
Among them were Amir Rashid Ali, in whose name the car used in the blast was registered; and Jasir Bilal Wani alias Danish, who had allegedly provided technical aid to the terrorist involved in the deadly attack. They are currently in the NIA’s custody.
The Patiala House Court extended the NIA custody of Amir Rashid Ali by 10 days in the Red Fort blast case.
Dr. Muzammil Shakeel Ganai of Pulwama in J&K; Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather of Anantnag in J&K; Dr. Shaheen Saeed of Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh); and Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay of Shopian (J&K) were held by the J&K Police for allegedly being part of a “terror” module.
They had all played a key role in the terror attack that killed several persons and left many injured, as alleged by the NIA. The police had seized about 2,900 kg of explosives, including ammonium nitrate, during the raids in Haryana’s Faridabad on November 9-10. Drs. Saeed and Ganai worked with Al Falah University, Faridabad, as did Nabi.
