Delhi High Court denies default bail to Red Fort blast accused Jasir Bilal Wani

The Delhi high court on Tuesday refused to grant default bail to Jasir Bilal Wani alias Danish, one of the accused in the 2025 Red Fort car bomb blast case.

A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Vikas Mahajan dismissed Wani's appeal challenging a March 30 trial court order that rejected his plea seeking default bail, news agency PTI reported.

“It is held that the accused is not entitled after 90 days. The appeal is liable to be dismissed,” the bench said.

An accused becomes entitled to default bail if the investigating agency fails to file a chargesheet within the stipulated time. The NIA arrested Wani, a Kashmiri accused of being an “active co-conspirator”, in November 2025.

The agency has alleged that Jasir provided technical support for carrying out terror attacks by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets. It has claimed that he worked closely with suicide bomber Umar un Nabi in planning the Red Fort blast, PTI reported.

A Hyundai i20 car exploded near the Red Fort at 6.52pm on November 10, 2025, killing 15 people and injuring several others. Nabi was identified as the suicide bomber behind the fatal explosion.

According to a Bar and Bench report, the NIA's May 2026 chargesheet described Wani as the module's “in-house engineer” and alleged that he provided technical support to its members.
