Intelligence agencies probing bomb blast outside Delhi high court have zeroed in on three suspects involved in human trafficking in Delhi. These human traffickers are being investigated for their role in providing logistical support to the bombers, which includes ensuring their safe exit from the spot as well as the national capital immediately after the blast.
According to sources, officials of the Central agencies are reportedly collecting call details of the human traffickers to ascertain the identity of those whom they contacted recently. Sources further said security agencies are also scrutinising the call details of mobile phone towers located around the high court area. Besides call details of at least six mobile phone towers of ‘Sarai Julena’ and Govindpuri areas of South Delhi are also being scrutinised, sources added.
“Attackers were well acquainted with the area where the blast took place as they managed to flee immediately after the incident. While referring to the ‘’Karachi Project’’ disclosed by David Headley — caught in the US in 2009 — sources said that there have been consistent attempts by Pakistan-based terror outfits having links with the Pakistan’s ISI to project an indigenous version of Indian terrorists behind terror incidents within the country.
Investigators have also asked foreign intelligence agencies operating in Southeast Asia if they picked up any signal or communication which may provide links to Wednesday’s terror attack. Officials are also taking help from the foreign agencies to find out the origin of the emails claiming responsibility for the blast which has claimed 13 lives.
The role of certain hawala operators is also under the scanner with investigators checking all the hawala transactions that took place from Delhi and Mumbai between August 25 to September 3 from Delhi to Mumbai. Use of hawala network in terror financing is not new at all, sources added.
