The Supreme Court directed the National Investigation Agency to finish its probe within two months into the April 1 Malda violence, where a mob trapped seven judicial officers for nine hours. The Court stressed urgency and accountability today.
The NIA has secured a five-day remand for two Pahalgam residents, Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar, for allegedly harboring terrorists behind April’s attack that killed 26 tourists. They provided shelter and support to the attackers, confirming their identities as Pakistani militants linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba. Further investigations are ongoing.
The NIA has opposed Tahawwur Rana’s request to contact his family during ongoing investigations into the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. A Delhi court has directed jail authorities to report on Rana’s application. Rana, extradited from the US, remains in custody as voice and handwriting samples are collected for the case.
