Delhi Court Grants NIA Ten-Day Custody of Red Fort Terror Accused

A Delhi court extended the investigative custody of Amir Rashid Ali to the National Investigation Agency for ten days in the Red Fort terror attack case.

The accused was produced before the Principal District and Sessions Judge after his arrest. The NIA asserted that Ali conspired with Umar Un Nabi, who allegedly drove the explosives-laden vehicle used in the incident.

The agency submitted that Ali purchased the Hyundai i20 involved in the attack and arranged a safe house for Nabi, forming part of an alleged wider terror plot. The Court found further custodial interrogation necessary for the ongoing investigation.
