New Delhi

A Delhi court on Wednesday extended the NIA custody of Jasir Bilal Wani, a key accused in the Red Fort blast case, by seven days.

Wani, a resident of Qazigund in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag, was arrested by the NIA on November 17 for allegedly providing technical support for attacks, including modifying drones and attempting to make rockets, ahead of the November 10 car blast near Red Fort that killed 13 people.

His previous seven-day custody, granted on November 27 by Principal Sessions and District Judge Anju Bajaj Chandna, was due to expire on Wednesday.
