Red Fort blast: Delhi court takes cognisance of NIA’s 7,500-page chargesheet
The Red Fort blast took place on November 10 last year, wherein a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device exploded near the Lal Quila Metro Station
A Delhi court on Saturday heard the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) 7,500-page Red Fort bomb blast chargesheet and ordered further scrutiny of documents in September. The blast occurred on November 10 last year near Lal Quila Metro Station, killing 11 people and injuring others. Umar-un-Nabi, a doctor from Jammu and Kashmir, was reportedly inside the explosives-laden vehicle that detonated.
The NIA had arrested nine persons for their alleged involvement in the attack, linked to an alleged conspiracy code-named "Operation Heavenly Hind." The court will hear the matter again on September 9, with the next procedural step being the transfer of chargesheet and related documents to the accused, as mandated by section 230 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
Special Judge Prashant Sharma of Rouse Avenue Courts took cognizance of the chargesheet, which included an additional three accused persons in a supplementary chargesheet filed the previous month.
