Srinagar, Dec 9 (NationPress) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted extensive searches in the wooded regions of Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday, linked to the Delhi car blast incident.
According to official sources, the NIA team, aided by the local J&K Police, initiated investigations in the forested area of the district concerning the terror explosion that occurred on November 10 near the Red Fort, resulting in the deaths of 13 civilians and injuring many more.
Reportedly, the NIA brought two accused, Dr. Adil Rather and Jasir Bilal Wani, to help locate the precise area for the ongoing searches.
A white-collar terror network, allegedly run by local physicians, was dismantled by the J&K Police and Haryana Police in the Faridabad region of Haryana.
This operation led to the apprehension of two conspirators, Dr. Adil Rather and Dr. Muzammil Ganai, while another suspect, Dr. Umar Nabi, remains at large.
Dr. Umar Nabi was responsible for executing the blast with an explosive-laden vehicle near the Red Fort, resulting in his own demise along with the loss of 13 innocent lives.
Recently, J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah indicated that the underlying terror conspiracy stemmed from a tumultuous romantic relationship. He revealed that one of the conspirators, Dr. Muzammil Ganai, had a relationship with a local woman that soured after he began to neglect her.
The disgruntled girlfriend approached the police, revealing that Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) posters were being distributed by Dr. Muzammil. His arrest subsequently led to the apprehension of a Maulvi and the unearthing of the entire conspiracy.
Additionally, police also detained Dr. Umar Farooq and his spouse, Shahzada, for their alleged involvement in the white-collar terror module. They are accused of exploiting their social position to entice youth towards terrorism.
Shahzada Akhtar is accused of attempting to revive the defunct women's terrorist group, Dukhtaran-e-Milat, which was dissolved following the arrest of its leader, Asiya Andrabi, in 2018.
