Following the recent blast in Delhi, a new report indicates that explosive-making materials are easily accessible across the country. Items required to create IEDs and other explosive devices can reportedly be obtained without major difficulty.
The information is part of a report submitted by the National Security Guard (NSG) to the Union Home Ministry. The NSG has urged that access to such materials be strictly regulated and that stronger monitoring and inspections be put in place to prevent misuse.
Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested another person in connection with the Delhi blast. The arrested individual, Soyab from Faridabad, is said to be an associate of Umar.
Investigators found that Soyab had provided shelter and assistance to Umar shortly before the terror attack. This evidence led to his arrest.
In a separate incident in Maharashtra, a five-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted was found in critical condition after lying unattended at home for four days.
