New Delhi : Investigators probing the Delhi Red Fort car blast that killed at least 10 people and injured over 20 have traced the plot to a network of medical professionals allegedly linked to the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). It remained there from October 29 to November 10. Investigators said three men were seen in visuals with the car, and on the morning of November 10, a visibly panicked Dr Umar drove it out towards Delhi.
The trio allegedly misused their professional credentials to procure raw materials, assemble explosives, and coordinate logistics for JeM. Investigators believe Dr Umar went into hiding on November 9, a day after raids led to the recovery of 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate. Shopian Police have conducted searches at multiple locations linked to Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) activists, including the residences of Dr Hameed Fayaz (Nadigam) and Mohammad Yousuf Falahie (Chitragam).
Among the accused, Dr Shaheen Shahid, a former medical college lecturer arrested from Faridabad, has emerged as a key figure in the module. Initial probe findings suggest she was tasked with establishing and leading JeM’s women’s wing in India, under the banner of Jamaat-ul-Momineen, a newly launched female operations network of the banned outfit.
Dr Parvez, who worked as a Senior Resident at Integral Medical College, Lucknow, had emailed his resignation on November 7, reportedly after being selected as an Associate Professor at another institution. He is the younger brother of Dr Shaheen, who had been working in Faridabad. Security agencies have intensified vigilance across Uttar Pradesh, with the ATS, J&K Police, and intelligence units maintaining high alert from Saharanpur to the Nepal border.
