On Thursday, Delhi High Court issued a notice to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on a bail plea moved by Naeem Khan, a Kashmiri separatist leader in a case related to the terrorist and secessionist activities in the former state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Naeem Khan’s bail plea has been moved through Advocates Tara Narula, Tamanna Pankaj and S Debabrata Reddy.
Earlier, on December 22, the Trial Court refused to grant bail to Naeem Khan since the nature of the allegations and evidence collected during the investigation required evidence to prove various facts, which would take a lot of time. In such a situation of delay in the trial, this cannot be entertained by this court once the question of bail is governed by a specific order under sections 43-D(S) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

Meanwhile, Jammu police have recovered a perfume improvised explosive device (IED) from a terrorist associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba, who was involved in the twin blasts that took place in Narwal on January 21.
Police arrested a terrorist identified as Arif, who was in contact with the Pakistani handlers for three years.
At least nine people were injured in the twin blasts that occurred in Narwal in January in a gap of 20 minutes. The police said that the terrorists intended to kill as many people as possible. The second IED could have caused bigger damage, which the terrorists intended if the police had not followed the SOPs. On January 20, two bombs were planted. The damage could have been bigger because the first IED was small but the second IED was way bigger than the first.
