A Delhi court on Wednesday extended by five days the National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody of two men accused of being part of the conspiracy behind the blast near the Red Fort that killed 14 people and injured dozens on November 10.

Special Judge Pitambar Dutt passed the order after conducting in-camera proceedings in a court designated to hear cases investigated by the NIA. The accused, Zameer Ahmad Ahangar from Ganderbal and Tufail Ahmad Bhat from Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir, were arrested by the agency in February. The court remanded them in NIA custody for 10 days on February 25 and had extended their custodial interrogation by five more days on March 6.
