New Delhi : In a major anti-terror breakthrough, a joint team of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and Haryana Police busted an interstate terror module linked to banned terrorist organisations and recovered more than 2,900 kilograms of suspected ammonium nitrate, a chemical used in making explosives, along with an assault rifle and a large cache of arms from doctors associated with a medical college in Haryana’s Faridabad.
An additional 2,500 kg of the explosive-making chemical was seized. Officials said there was a conspiracy to terrorise Delhi using hundreds of powerful IEDs made from the recovered material. One of the doctors, Dr Muzamil Shakeel, employed at the medical college, was arrested after police recovered the chemicals from a house rented by him near Al Falah Hospital on Sunday. The woman has been identified as Dr. Shaheen, a resident of Lal Bagh, Lucknow.
Another doctor, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, was earlier arrested from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly putting up posters in support of the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed in Srinagar. Sunday’s raid was conducted based on crucial leads obtained during his interrogation. Identified as Ishtiyaq, who was in regular contact with Muzammil, has also been arrested by the probe team, officials added.
The seized items include one assault rifle with three magazines and 83 live rounds, one pistol with eight live rounds, two empty cartridges, two additional magazines, eight large suitcases, four small suitcases, and the suspected explosive chemical. Police also recovered 20 timers with batteries, 24 remote controls, five kilograms of heavy metal, walkie-talkie sets, electric wiring, batteries, and other contraband materials.
