The Delhi Police on Tuesday filed a chargesheet in a city court accusing journalist Syed Mohammad Kazmi of conspiring with foreigners for the 13 February Israeli embassy car blast.
The chargesheet also named Iranian nationals Houshang Afshar Irani, Masod Sedaghatzadeh, Syed Ali Mehdi Sadr and Mohammed Reza Abolghasemi as suspects. Kazmi was been charged under various provisions of the anti-terror law, Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), and the penal provision for attempt to murder, among others.
In the chargesheet, filed before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vinod Yadav, police also charged Kazmi under the provisions of the Explosive Substances Act.
He was arrested on 6 March for his alleged involvement in the bombing. Four people were injured when an Israeli embassy car was struck by a bomb near the prime minister's house in central Delhi. Tal Yehoshua Koren, 42, wife of Israeli defence attache Colonel Yossi Refaelov, suffered multiple injuries when a motorcycle rider attached a magnetic explosive device to her car in central Delhi and sped away.
As per the chargesheet, after the Delhi blast Irani went to Bangkok and then to Kuala Lumpur, while Masod Sedaghatzadeh has been detained in Malaysia since 14 March. According to police, Irani visited India on 25 April 2011 and left the country on 6 May 2011. He came back to India again on 29 January but left for Malaysia on 13 February evening, within hours of the attack on the Israeli embassy car here.
Irani stayed at a hotel named Hotel High 5 and an analysis of his mobile phone number revealed that he had contacted Kazmi. The CCTV footage and other records of his stay at the hotel were seized, police said.
According to police, a scooter purchased by Irani for surveying the area near the Israeli embassy was seized from Kazmi's house.
