New Delhi: A special
court here Tuesday found prima facie evidence against a man
arrested for his alleged involvement in the 2011 Delhi High Court
blast in which 15 people were killed, sources said.
National Investigation Agency (NIA) Special Judge H.S. Sharma,
during the in-camera proceedings, found prima facie evidence
against Wasim Akram Malik, sources said.
The court found sufficient evidence against Malik under penal
provisions dealing with criminal conspiracy, murder and attempt to
murder and various terror charges, the sources said.
The court fixed Sep 18 for order on the framing of charges against
Malik, who is in judicial custody.
The NIA in March filed a charge sheet against six accused,
including a minor. Malik and another accused, Amir Abbas Dev, were
arrested in September 2011.
Amir Abbas Dev has turned approver in the case and is in judicial
custody.
The other accused in the case are Malik's brother and alleged
Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Junaid Akram Malik, Shakir Hussain
Seikh alias Chota Hafiz and Amir Kamal. They are on the run.
"Wasim Malik, an avid internet user, is one of those leaderless
jehadis who conspired with the terrorists of Hizbul Mujahideen and
other outfits and executed this cowardly and inhuman terrorist
action," the NIA said.
Fifteen people were killed and 79 others injured in the Sep 7,
2011 blast outside Gate No.5 of the high court complex.
