Wani, a resident of Qazigund in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district, was arrested in Srinagar on November 17. Investigators say he allegedly offered technical support for terror activities. They claim he modified drones and attempted to design rockets ahead of the November 10 Red Fort blast. According to NIA officials, these activities formed a key part of the larger conspiracy.

Meanwhile, another accused linked to the case was sent to NIA custody on Wednesday. The Patiala House Court remanded Soyab, a resident of Faridabad, to 10 days of custody. The agency alleges that he provided shelter to the suspected Red Fort bomber, Umar-un Nabi.

In a separate terror-related development, Jammu Police arrested a 19-year-old youth on Thursday. The accused, originally from Reasi district and now living in Jammu’s Bathindi area, was held in connection with an FIR under Section 113(3) of the BNS, which deals with terrorist activity. Police said initial investigations show that the youth had been radicalised online. They added that he was allegedly planning to carry out a terror attack.

Officials stated that further investigation is under way in both cases as agencies attempt to uncover wider networks connected to the suspects.

According to investigators, this terror network operated very differently from traditional militant groups. Instead of relying on underground operatives alone, the module reportedly included several highly educated individuals — professionals such as doctors, engineers, and students — who worked in regular jobs while secretly contributing to the organisation’s activities. Their skills were allegedly used to arrange logistics, hide communications, and manage funds under the cover of legitimate occupations.

The Srinagar resident arrested this week is believed to have provided technical help and acted as a link between members working in Jammu & Kashmir and those stationed in other states. Agencies say the module had spread its operations across several regions, taking advantage of professional networks, hostels, coaching centres and workplaces to move materials and share information without raising suspicion.

During raids connected to the case, authorities recovered a large quantity of explosive material and electronic equipment that they believe was used for planning and coordination. Investigators are now analysing devices, financial trails and travel records to identify other individuals who may have supported the group.

Officials described the Delhi blast as part of a larger conspiracy aimed at launching coordinated attacks. They added that the involvement of “white-collar” professionals shows that extremist groups are adopting newer methods to avoid detection. Further arrests are expected as the investigation progresses.
