Thursday brought a major update in the Red Fort blast case with the arrest of more doctors. They are the prime accused in the attack that killed 15 people and injured 28. With these arrests, the total number of terrorists in custody has reached six.
NIA detained the four accused terrorists from Jammu & Kashmir after the J&K police traced their role in the case. As the NIA investigated further, it confirmed their involvement in the blast and moved ahead with the arrests.
