As per the sources, the NIA teams "are searching for evidence that could be linked to the ‘white-collar’ module and the Delhi blast." So far, the NIA has arrested seven accused related to the Delhi blast that took place on November 10 near the Red Fort metro station, which killed at least 15 people and injured several others.
Recently, the NIA arrested a man from Faridabad for allegedly harbouring terrorist Umar un Nabi, who was involved in the Delhi blast. He has been identified as Soyab, a resident of Dhauj in Haryana's Faridabad. He is the seventh accused to be arrested in the case.
