Weeks before the Delhi car blast, accused Dr Adeel sought advance salary, purported WhatsApp chats showed. "Good afternoon, sir...I had requested that the salary be credited...(I'm) in dire need of money," he wrote in a message. "Need salary ASAP, sir. In need of money," another message read. Adeel reportedly contributed ₹8 lakh of ₹26 lakh spent on the blast.
