Delhi serial blasts: Suspected aide of militants held

A suspected aide of the militants allegedly involved in the serial blasts here was taken into custody while he was giving an interview to a news channel.
Zeeshan, believed to be an aide of Atif who is alleged to have played a "key role" in the recent Delhi blasts, was taken into custody from the studio of a news channel on Friday night, a senior police official said.
"We had information that a person will be going to the studio to give an interview on behalf of the militants. We picked him up from the TV studio for interrogation," the official said.
Asked whether Zeeshan was one of the two militants who escaped from Friday's encounter site, the official refused to provide details but said he could be one of those who arranged logistics like a house or car or other things.
Delhi Police had on Friday killed two militants, who allegedly had "crucial" links to the Delhi blasts, in a fierce gun battle in Jamia Nagar of south Delhi.
While one militant, Mohd Saif, was arrested, two others managed to escape from the scene.
