Red Fort blast case: Delhi Court extends police custody of two accused

A Delhi Court on Wednesday (March 11, 2026) extended by five days the custodial interrogation of two terror operatives allegedly involved in the blast near Red Fort.

Special Judge Pitambar Dutt extended the NIA custody of Zameer Ahmad Ahangar and Tufail Ahmad Bhat after conducting the proceedings in camera.

Ahangar from Ganderbal and Bhat from Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, were formally arrested by the NIA in February for their active involvement in the conspiracy related to the Delhi blast.

On February 25, they were sent to NIA custody for 10 days, after which their custodial interrogation was extended by five days on March 6.

On Tuesday (March 10, 2026), the NIA took their blood samples along with other exhibits before a magisterial court.

So far, the anti-terror agency has made 11 arrests in the case.
