New Delhi/Srinagar (PTI): The National Investigation Agency on Monday conducted searches at various locations in Jammu and Kashmir in connection with its probe into the Red Fort car bomb blast case, officials said.
“The searches are being conducted at nine places in various locations of J-K,” an NIA spokesperson said.
The locations included the Handwara area of Kupwara district, Rafiabad in Baramullah district, and places in Kulgam and Srinagar districts, among others, the officials said.
At least 13 people were killed, and several others were injured in the blast near the Red Fort that shook the national capital on November 10 last year.
The blast was triggered by suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi, a medical doctor and assistant professor at Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, who blew up an explosive-laden car he was driving outside the iconic monument.
The NIA has so far arrested 11 accused in the case.

Karnataka: Woman, son killed after motorcycle collides with stationary tipper
Mangaluru (Karnataka) (PTI): A woman and her son were killed after their motorcycle collided with a stationary tipper truck in Dakshina Kannada district, police said on Wednesday.
The accident occurred on Mahaveer College road in Moodbidri municipal limits in this district on Tuesday evening, they said.
The deceased were identified as 68-year-old Prema Shetty and her 30-year-old son Srinivas Shetty, residents of Neeralkatte in Gantalkatte, police said.
Srinivas was a daily-wage labourer, they said.
According to police, the two were travelling on motorcycle from Moodbidri towards Gantalkatte when they allegedly rammed into the tipper truck parked on the roadside near a petrol bunk.
Prema died on the spot, while Srinivas sustained critical injuries and later succumbed at a hospital, a senior police officer said.
The family had suffered a similar tragedy last year when Prema's younger son died in a rickshaw accident.
