The Delhi high court on Tuesday refused to release Jasir Bilal Wani , alleged co-conspirator in the Red Fort bomb blast case, on default bail.
Wani was a neighbour of brothers Adil and Muzaffar Rather, two doctors who are allegedly part of the terror module behind the Red Fort blast. his younger brother Adil was arrested in Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh While Muzaffar is believed to be in Afghanistan at present.
Wani, a student of Government Degree College Levodara in Kulgam, J&K, was initially picked up by the state police from Qazigund in Anantnag district along with his uncle, and was formally arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police and handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in November last year.
High Court Review of Bail Denial
Wani has filed an appeal in the high court challenging a March 30 decision by the trial court that denied his request for default bail. He argues that the investigation period mandated by law has expired, which should entitle him to bail.
