As the National Investigation Agency is probing the Red Fort blast case, Dr Shaheen Saeed has been sent to police custody for three days. The development came after she had been in judicial custody for at least
one month.
CNN News18 accessed the order copy, sending Saeed to three days’ police custody. The remand order, passed on Tuesday, revealed that her custody has been sought to explain code words.
Police custody has also been sought to decode incriminating material that has surfaced after the forensic examination of digital devices.
Shaheen Saeed, the co-accused in the Delhi blast case, was allegedly the in-charge of forming a team of “terror doctors”.
Saeed, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow, worked as a doctor at the Faridabad-based Al-Falah University, a varsity that was linked to the deadly Delhi car blast case. At least 15 people were killed and many others were injured after a Hyundai i20 car, driven by a suicide bomber, Umar un Nabi, exploded near the Red Fort.
Umar, a Kashmiri doctor, was also affiliated with the Al-Falah University.
The attack came hours after Jammu and Kashmir Police cracked down on an interstate and transnational “white-collar” terror module, linked to the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed and the Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, an al-Qaeda-affiliated terror group, in November last year.
