SRINAGAR: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) announced Monday the arrest of a Kashmiri college student from Srinagar linked to Delhi suicide bomber Dr Umar Un Nabi, hours after the suspect’s father died in hospital of burns suffered in a purported immolation attempt outside their home in Anantnag district’s Qazigund.Jasir Bilal Wani, aka Danish, had been detained four days ago for interrogation along with his paternal uncle Nabeel Wani, a physics teacher.The family said Jasir’s father Bilal Ahmad Wani, 55, was summoned by police last Saturday and he returned home “distressed”.

The dry fruits trader died at Srinagar’s SMHS Hospital early Monday.NIA issued a statement confirming that Jasir’s interrogation over the past few days yielded clues to the Delhi blast, including what the agency said was his “active involvement” in the car blast that killed 14 people and wounded over 30 people.”Investigations have revealed that Jasir allegedly provided technical support for terror attacks by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets ahead of the deadly car bomb blast,” NIA said. “The accused was a co-conspirator who worked closely with the terrorist, Umar Un Nabi, to plan the terror carnage. NIA continues to explore various angles to unravel the conspiracy behind the bombing.”Multiple teams are working on leads and searching for suspects across states “to identify every person involved in the terror attack”, the agency said.Jasir’s arrest was announced a day after NIA took into custody Amir Rashid Ali, a resident of Samboora in Pampore, for conspiring with Nabi.
