The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has made further inroads into the Delhi car blast case, arresting Jasir Bilal Wani, a Kashmiri college student, in Srinagar. The arrest comes as a tragic development unfolds: Wani's father, Bilal Ahmad Wani, died after attempting self-immolation, reportedly due to being denied permission to see his son.

The Delhi car bombing, which occurred on November 10 near the Red Fort, resulted in 10 fatalities and 32 injuries. The NIA has been actively investigating the bombing, uncovering a network of individuals allegedly involved in the planning and execution of the terror attack.

Jasir Bilal Wani, also known as Danish, is alleged to have provided crucial technical support to the terror operations. According to the NIA, he modified drones and attempted to build rockets in preparation for the attack. Investigators state that Wani worked closely with Umar Un Nabi, the suspected suicide bomber who drove the vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (IED).

Umar Un Nabi was an Assistant Professor in the General Medicine Department at Al Falah University, Faridabad. Forensic analysis has confirmed that Nabi was the driver of the explosive-laden car.

Prior to Wani's arrest, the NIA arrested Amir Rashid Ali on Sunday, also from Kashmir, for allegedly helping Nabi procure the Hyundai i20 car used in the attack. The vehicle was registered in Ali's name. Ali allegedly traveled to Delhi to facilitate the purchase of the car.

The NIA's investigation has revealed that the conspirators were also planning to make weaponized drones with explosives and rockets. The agency has seized another vehicle belonging to Nabi, which is undergoing forensic analysis. So far, the NIA has examined 73 witnesses, including several victims of the blast.

Following Jasir Wani's arrest, a tragic incident occurred when his father, Bilal Ahmad Wani, a dry fruit seller, succumbed to burn injuries after attempting self-immolation. It was reported that he was denied permission to meet his son.

The investigation into the Delhi blast has expanded to multiple states, with the NIA coordinating with Delhi Police, Jammu and Kashmir Police, Haryana Police, and Uttar Pradesh Police, along with other security agencies. Search operations are underway in multiple states to track down every individual linked to the conspiracy.

In the wake of the blast and subsequent arrests, concerns have been raised regarding the treatment of Kashmiri students. The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) has alleged that Kashmiri students are facing profiling, eviction, and intimidation across several northern states. They have urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and ensure the safety and rights of Kashmiri students.

Faridabad police have questioned over 2,000 Kashmiri students and tenants in connection with the blast. The police are investigating possible links to a "white collar terror module".
