The NIA custody of Dr Bilal Naseer Malla, an accused in the Red Fort blast case, has been extended by seven days by a Delhi court on Friday. The court also remanded Soyab, a Faridabad resident accused of harbouring Red Fort bomber Umar-un-Nabi, to five days of judicial custody. The probe agency produced Soyab and Bilal at the Patiala House Court amid tight security on Friday upon the expiry of their previous four-day NIA custody granted on December 15. Media persons were barred from covering the proceedings.
