NIA arrests Faridabad resident for harbouring Delhi bomber Umar

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested Soyab, a resident of Haryana’s Faridabad, for helping Umar Un Nabi, who has been identified as the man who carried out the suicide bombing in Delhi’s Red Fort neighbourhood earlier this month.

The NIA has accused Soyab of harbouring Umar and providing logistical support before the blast.

Soyab is the seventh accused to be arrested in the case.

Soyab had harboured Umar “immediately before” the Red Fort blast and provided him logistical support, the NIA said in a statement.

A car blew up near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10. The blast killed at least 15 persons and injured around 20 people. The NIA and Delhi Police have named Umar as the bomber and have dubbed the act of terror as suicide bombing.

The investigators have linked Umar and the Delhi bombing to the ‘white collar’ terrorist module stretching from Jammu and Kashmir to Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Hours before the blast, the Jammu and Kashmir Police had announced arrests in the case and disclosed recovery of a massive cache of explosives and weapons in J&K and Haryana’s Faridabad.
