NIA is likely to grill Dr Bilal Naseer Malla, an accused in the Red Fort blast case for more days as a Delhi court on Friday extended by seven days his custody with the investigating agency.The court also remanded Soyab, a Faridabad resident accused of harbouring Red Fort bomber Umar-un-Nabi, to five days of judicial custody.
The probe agency produced Soyab and Bilal at the Patiala House Court amid tight security on Friday upon the expiry of their previous four-day NIA custody granted on December 15. Media persons who have already been barred from covering the proceedings, were not allowed in the hearing.
The accused were produced before Principal and Sessions Judge Anju Bajaj Chandna who allowed the probe agency to quiz Naseer in its custody for seven more days, while Soyab has been remanded to judicial custody till December 24.
An official spokesperson for the NIA had earlier said the agency arrested Soyab, a resident of Dhauj in Haryana’s Faridabad, for allegedly providing logistical support to “terrorist” Umar-un-Nabi before the Delhi terror bomb blast.
