The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been granted a 45-day extension by a Delhi court for its ongoing probe into the 2000 Red Fort terror attack.
The extension was sought by the NIA citing the need for further investigation following the recent arrests of two individuals, Zamir Ahmed Ahangar and Tufail Ahmad Bhat.
The Red Fort attack, which occurred in December 2000, resulted in the deaths of three individuals, including two Army jawans.
