NEW DELHI, July 14 -- A Delhi court on Monday granted the National Investigation Agency (NIA) permission to dispose of the body parts of the Red Fort bomb blast victims, including those of the alleged suicide bomber, with dignity and in accordance with religious customs. Public prosecutor Madhav Khurana, appearing for NIA, informed the court that the body parts were decomposing and stored with the forensics unit, adding that their evidentiary value had been fully utilised through forensic analysis, making further preservation unnecessary. The court order said, "NIA should dispose of the biological body parts of the deceased and the accused with full human dignity and as per their religious belief."
