India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested four more suspects in the Nov. 10 bombing outside Delhi’s historic Red Fort, taking the total number of people detained in the case to six.
The agency said the four men were taken into custody in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, after a Delhi court issued production orders.

According to the NIA, all four “played a key role in the terror attack that killed several innocent persons and left many others injured.”

These arrests come as part of what officials described as a fast-moving investigation. The NIA had earlier detained Amir Rashid Ali, the registered owner of the car used in the blast, and Jasir Bilal Wani, also known as Danish, who allegedly provided technical support to the bomber.
Both suspects are still being questioned as investigators map the wider network behind the attack. The explosion, which occurred near the Red Fort metro station, killed at least eight people and injured more than nineteen, according to initial assessments.
India’s Ministry of Home Affairs transferred the investigation to the NIA shortly after the blast, and the agency formed a ten-member special team to examine how the attack was planned and executed.
Officials say early findings point to what they call a “white-collar terror module,” involving individuals with medical or professional backgrounds who allegedly helped organise logistics, communication and movement of materials.
Investigators are also looking into whether the explosives were sourced from locations in Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir. Forensic teams continue to analyse CCTV footage, electronic communication and other digital evidence.
The NIA said the investigation is ongoing and further arrests are likely as it works with state police forces across multiple regions.
