Sajjad was tasked by Mudassir to establish a sleeper cell in Delhi.
A 27-year-old member of terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), who was an associate of Pulwama attack mastermind Muddasir Khan, was arrested on late Thursday night, the Delhi Police said on Friday.
Pulwama resident Sajjad Khan, wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), was arrested from the Lajpat Rai Market, police said.
“He is wanted by the NIA on charges of criminal conspiracy and waging a war under the Indian Penal Code and under relevant sections of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act,” said a senior police officer.
Muddasir Khan was killed in a recent exchange of fire with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, the officer said, adding that Sajjad was tasked by Mudassir to establish a sleeper cell in Delhi.
