Nazir Ahmed Wani, the main accused in the 1993 Deoband blast case, has been arrested. Uttar Pradesh police arrested him from Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam district. Officials provided this information on Tuesday, November 19th. It is learned that Wani has been arrested by a team of Uttar Pradesh police with the help of Jammu and Kashmir police. Wani’s arrest is a huge success for the police.
In the recent assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Wani contested the Budgam Assembly seat against Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, though he lost the election. According to the police officer, 51-year-old Nazir Ahmed Wani mentioned his profession as business in his election affidavit. Although he was granted bail in the 1993 blast case, he made no mention of the Deoband blast case in his affidavit.
