New Delhi, February 25 The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two more suspected terrorists allegedly involved in the conspiracy to blast the Red Fort area, officials said on Wednesday.
With this, the anti-terror agency has so far made 11 arrests in the case.
The two men, identified as Zameer Ahmad Ahangar of Ganderbal and Tufail Ahmad Bhat of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir, were formally arrested by the NIA for their involvement in the conspiracy related to the Delhi blast, a statement issued by the agency said.
They had supplied weapons to the main accused in the case, investigations by the NIA have revealed.
Eleven people were killed, and several were injured in the blast that shook the national capital on November 10 last year.
The main accused, Umer Un Nabi, was also killed in the deadly explosion.
The NIA, which has been investigating the case to unveil the complete conspiracy behind the dastardly terror act, found Zameer and Tufail to be active members of the Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH) terror outfit.
Investigations by the NIA, which has been working in coordination with the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Haryana Police, and other agencies, have further revealed that Zameer and Tufail were involved in the blast conspiracy, and were also part of various other terror conspiracies, the statement said.
The NIA found, through extensive investigation and examination of evidence, that they were involved in the collection of arms and ammunition, intended for use against the country.
According to the findings of the national counter-terror agency, the Delhi blast conspiracy was masterminded by Umer, along with other accused identified as Muzammil Ganai, Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan, Adeel Ahmed Rather, as well as five others who had provided shelter and logistical support to the main conspirators.
These nine men were arrested earlier from various locations in Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana.
