In the Red Fort blast case, defendants Dr. Mujammil and Dr. Shaheen Sayed deny their involvement, asserting no evidence links them to the incident.
New Delhi, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : The recent proceedings in the Red Fort blast case have seen defendants Dr. Mujammil and Dr. Shaheen Sayed firmly denying any involvement. During the hearing at the Special NIA Court in New Delhi, their arguments were presented, with the next round of defenses scheduled for November 17.
The two accused claimed they had no role in the blast, emphasizing that they were arrested before the incident occurred. They argued that if they were taken into custody prior to the explosion, it could not be proven that they were part of any conspiracy. Furthermore, they pointed out that there is no evidence linking them to other individuals implicated in the blast.
Dr. Mujammil was arrested on October 29, and Dr. Shaheen Sayed was taken into custody a day before the blast on November 9. This timeline, according to their defense, indicates that they had no connection to the event.
Their defense also highlighted that no evidence has been presented to show their involvement in the purchase of the I-10 car used in the blast. During the previous hearing, the court acknowledged the 75,000-page charge sheet submitted by the NIA.
The charge sheet, filed last month, lists 12 accused individuals, including Umar Un Nabi, who is identified as the main conspirator and was killed in the blast. The document also names several others, including Jameer Ahmed Ahangar, Tufail Ahmed Bhatt, Dr. Shaheen Sayed, and Dr. Mujammil Shakeel, among others. The tragic incident resulted in the deaths of 13 people and left over 24 injured.
