Breakthrough in High Court blast case

The investigative agencies have finally made a breakthrough in the Delhi high court blast case. They have concrete information regarding the hide-outs of the accused.

According to sources, ‘Five teams of the Delhi police, Investigation Bureau [IB] and National Investigative Agency [NIA] would soon crack the case.

Raid by these investigative agencies are being carried out in the Kishtwar area of Kashmir.’

Sources told Millennium Post that Junaid Akram Malik is still alive. A month ago, there were rumours that Malik had died. Malik, a teenager, is allegedly the main accused in the Delhi high court blast case.

Malik is 18 years old and is said to be the coordinator of Hizbul Mujahideen Youth Wing, a terrorist group. He used to live in the Kishtwar of Kashmir, south of the Pir Panjal Range.

In March 2012, NIA had filed a chargesheet against six people who were supposedly involved in the Delhi high court blast. Out of the six, three were already arrested. They were identified as Amir Abbas Dev, Wasim Akram Malik and a minor.

The other absconding three were identified as Amir Kamal, Chota Hafeez and Junaid Malik.

On 7 September 2011, a high intensity bomb blasted at gate number 5 of the high court, the main entrance. On that day, a large number of people visited the court as it was a Wednesday, the public interest litigation day.

Soon after the blast, an email was sent to media houses stating that Hizmal Mujahideen was responsible for the explosion.

The email also demanded that the Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru should not be hanged, failing of which, the email threatened, the courts would be attacked further.

The investigative agencies traced the email to a cyber cafe located in Kishtwar. Soon, three of the accused were arrested including Wasim Akram Malik, the elder brother of Junaid Akram Malik.

The brothers are considered a key link in the high court blast that killed 17 people and injured over 90.
