Investors from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrived in Nabagram, a village in Murshidabad, on Wednesday to follow up on leads tied to the Delhi blast that shook the capital earlier this month.
The operation began at 7 a.m. with NIA officials heading to the home of Main ul Hasan, a migrant worker who had previously lived and worked in Delhi and Mumbai. The agency had Main ul’s phone number from one of the suspects arrested in connection with the Red Fort car bombing. When police called him, they spoke with him for an extended period before searching his house for any evidence of links to militant outfits.
Main ul’s contact with suspected militants triggered a broader sweep in rural areas around Nabagram police station. Investigators now roam nearby villages, speaking with locals and examining additional names linked through the blast’s phone trail. Some neighbors expressed surprise at the sudden raid and the police focus on their area.
The toll of the blast remains a grim reminder: at least eight people died and dozens were injured when a Hyundai i20 exploded near the Red Fort Metro Station at 6:52 p.m. on Monday. The jagged wreckage and scattered bodies turned the busy precinct into a scene of chaos.
Delhi Police have placed high alert in the city and invoked sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) after forensic work and intelligence pointed to possible terror involvement. So far, about 15 individuals have been arrested, and a broader hunt continues for anyone linked directly or indirectly to the attack.
