The NIA has arrested an associate of the suicide bomber involved in the November 10 car blast in Delhi. Amir Rashid Ali allegedly facilitated the purchase of the explosive-laden car and conspired with the bomber, identified as Dr. Umer un Nabi, an assistant professor with a Jaish terror module. This arrest is a major breakthrough in uncovering the larger conspiracy. NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday said it has arrested an aide of suicide bomber Umer un Nabi who had carried out the Nov 10 car blast, for allegedly facilitating purchase of the car in Delhi and conspiring with the bomber to carry out the terror attack.Amir Rashid Ali, a resident of Samboora, Pampore in J&K and in whose name the car involved in the attack was registered, was arrested from Delhi by the NIA, which had launched a massive search operation after taking over the case from Delhi Police.Delhi Blast: Security Forces Demolish House of Red Fort Bombing Accused Umar Nabi in PulwamaNIA described the arrest as “a major breakthrough” in the Red Fort area car bomb blast case. NIA investigations so far have revealed that accused Amir had come to Delhi to facilitate the purchase of the Hyundai i20 car used in the blast. NIA has forensically established the identity of the deceased driver of the vehicle-borne IED as Umer Un Nabi. Dr Umer hailed from Pulwama district of J&K and was working as an assistant professor in the general medicine department of Al Falah College of Medical Science and Research Centre, while also working for a Jaish terror module purportedly planning major, pan-India terror attacks. The massive recovery of over 2,900 kg of explosives foiled these plans. NIA on Sunday said it has seized another vehicle belonging to Nabi. The vehicle is being examined for evidence in the case.The central anti-terror agency has so far examined 73 witnesses, including those injured in the blast that had rocked the national capital on Nov 10 and claimed a dozen lives. “Working in close coordination with Delhi Police, Jammu & Kashmir Police, Haryana Police, UP Police and various sister agencies, NIA is continuing its investigation across states.

NEW DELHI: Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara on Sunday said there will only be a cabinet reshuffle quashing rumours about a possible leadership change in the state.His remarks came a day after chief minister Siddaramaiah met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi, sparking fresh talk about impending changes. While reports suggested that the high command had begun considering a reshuffle, Siddaramaiah dismissed those claims, saying there were “no discussions on the reshuffle” and that the meeting focused solely on the Bihar election outcome.Speaking to reporters, Parameshwara said the matter rests entirely with the chief minister and the party leadership. “It is said that the high command has given permission for a reshuffle. Media is saying it and this subject is coming out in the open. Now you can guess what’s happening with regard to the change of guard. Normally, leadership changes do not happen when the Cabinet reshuffle takes place,” he said, as quoted by PTI.He added that several Congress legislators have been pushing for ministerial berths. “Now, after getting permission for a reshuffle, the CM and the high command will do it. To me this is not a big issue,” he said.Public works minister Satish Jarkiholi echoed the position, saying the decision lies with the party leadership. “On Saturday, the chief minister met the party high command. Only he knows what discussion took place with the high command. The decision on the Cabinet reshuffle is left to him and the party top brass,” he told reporters.Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah reiterated that his meeting with Rahul Gandhi was strictly political and connected to the Bihar results. “Yes, I met Rahul Gandhi. We only discussed the Bihar election. He’s our leader, so we encouraged him after a setback in the Bihar election. He said he’s not worried about it. We have told him not to lose his spirit. There was no discussion about a cabinet reshuffle at all. I will meet the PM on Monday if I get an appointment,” he said.Deputy chief minister D K Shivakumar, who previously said he would “follow” Siddaramaiah’s word amid leadership rumours, distanced himself from Saturday’s meeting. “I don’t know about the CM’s meeting with Rahul Gandhi. I don’t know about a cabinet reshuffle discussion… If you want to ask anything about a reshuffling of leadership change issues, speak to CM. We have to follow what the party says,” he said.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
