New Delhi, Jan 24 (IBNS) The National Investigation Agency has absolved Liaquat Shah,accused of being a member of the terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen, of all charges brought against him by Delhi Police.
The NIA on Saturday filed a chargesheet against suspected Delhi Police 'source' Sabir Khan Pathan in the case.
