Will hunt down culprits from depths of netherworld: Amit Shah’s stern message on Delhi blast
Says eliminating terrorism from its roots under PM’s leadership collective commitment of government; NIA gets 10-day custody of accused arrested in blast case; Accused to be brought to Kashmir; Another key conspirator arrested for providing technical support to carry out terror attacks
New Delhi, Nov 17 : In a strong message, Union Home Minister, Amit Shah on Monday said that the government will hunt down the culprits of the Delhi bomb blast even from the depths of the netherworld and ensure they receive the strictest possible punishment.
At least 15 people were killed and 20 others injured after a blast ripped through a car near the iconic Red Fort in Delhi last week. The suicide bomber, later identified as Dr Umar Mohammad, also died in the explosion. The investigators believe Dr Umar triggered the blast.
According to details available with news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Amit Shah made the remark at the 32nd meeting of Northern Zonal Council (NZC) in Haryana’s Faridabad today.
He also paid tributes to those who lost their lives in the bomb and the explosion at Nowgam Police Station in Jammu and Kashmir, while two minutes of silence was observed in the meeting.
Nine persons were killed, including a Naib Tehsildar, State Investigating Agency Officer, and a tailor, while 32 others were injured after a high-intensity blast ripped through the Nowgam police station in Srinagar late Friday night.
The blast occurred when a stockpile of explosives, confiscated from an alleged doctors’ terror module busted by Jammu and Kashmir in Haryana’s Faridabad, accidentally went off inside the police station.
The Home Minister said that eliminating terrorism from its roots under the leadership of PM Modi is collective commitment of the government. “We will hunt down the culprits of the Delhi bomb blast even from the depths of the netherworld (patal) and ensure they receive the strictest possible punishment,” he remarked.
He also said that Zonal Councils are very important for dialogue, cooperation, coordination, and policy synergy. “They play a very important role in translating PM Modi’s vision of ‘strong states alone create a strong nation’ into reality.”
