Investigators have said that Maulvi Irfan was in contact with specific suspects involved in planning and executing the blast. The agency is investigating his role, which includes suspected logistics support, communication links and possible association with the ‘criminals’.
Officials said the investigation is focused on ascertaining the full extent of the network behind the blast and finding out whether any other operatives or facilitators were active in Jammu and Kashmir. As part of the nationwide action related to this case, NIA has intensified searches and interrogation at many places in recent weeks. Further action is expected based on the analysis of the items found during the Srinagar raid.
