Kochi: The Delhi car blast investigators suspect that the attack was executed by Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) to seek revenge on India’s attack on its Bahawalpur headquarters in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, Times of India reported.
Initial intelligence inputs suggest that the blast was carried through a JeM module member Dr Umar Un Nabi in a panic reaction after cops seized 2,900 kgs explosives
and arrested module members Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, Dr Adeel Majeed Rather, Dr Sajad Malik and Dr Shaheen Shahid.
The initial investigation indicates that the handlers were based in Turkiye and Nangarhar in Afghanistan.
During interrogation, Shaheen told cops that Umar would passionately speak of “unleashing multiple terror attacks in the country” every time they met after work at the Al-Falah Medical College.
Muzammil and Adeel, had been amassing fertilizer-based explosives like ammonium nitrate for almost two years, purportedly for use in pan-India terror attacks on behalf of terror outfit JeM).
Shaheen revealed that her brother, Parvez Sayeed, was also radicalised and part of the same chat group as Muzammil and Adeel. A J&K police team on Tuesday visited Lucknow and picked up Parvez but could not make any significant recoveries.
A Gurugram-based ammonium nitrate supplier has also been identified.
Sources said the raids in Faridabad and the Delhi blast have exposed a network of clerics engaged in indoctrination.
Another Mewat-based cleric, Hafiz Mohd Ishtiyak, was providing logistics to the terrorists. These clerics used social media to radicalise highly qualified professionals like doctors for carrying out pan-India terror attacks on behalf of JeM.
In Nov 2023, J&K LG Manoj Sinha had dismissed Dr Nisar Ul Hassan, assistant professor (medicine) at SMHS Hospital, Srinagar, over terror links.
