Srinagar, Nov 22: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) on Saturday detained a man from the Batamaloo locality of Srinagar in connection with the Red Fort blast case, sources said.
Six people, including three doctors, have been arrested so far linked to the blast case.
A top official of the SIA said that the man has been detained for questioning as he is linked to the Delhi blast that claimed at least 15 lives and injured many others on November 10 near the iconic Red Fort area.
He said that the questioning of the man, identified as Tufail Niyaz Bhat of Batamaloo’s Diyarwani locality, is underway to ascertain his role in the blast.
“More raids and detentions are also expected in the coming days as the investigation into the case is underway,” he added.
Tufail was arrest after crucial leads emerged linking him to the November 10 blast, which, investigators believe, was triggered by a suicide bomber – Dr Umar Mohammad – who was driving the explosive laden car in one of Delhi’s busiest area.
