New Delhi, Nov 15 (NationPress) The National Medical Council (NMC) has officially revoked the registrations of three medical professionals associated with the car explosion near Delhi's Red Fort Metro Station, prohibiting them from practicing medicine until further notice.
The tragic incident on November 10 resulted in the loss of 12 lives and left many others injured, sending tremors throughout the country.
The council's decision comes in response to an FIR lodged under UAPA sections against Dr. Muzaffar Ahmad, Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, and Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, effective immediately.
While Muzamil, Adeel, and another suspect, Dr. Shaheen, are currently being held by the J&K Police, Muzaffar is believed to have fled India around August this year.
They are suspected of having ties to the Faridabad terror module.
In a directive from Rajiv Sharma, the NMC Secretary (in charge), it was indicated that an FIR was filed against the trio in Srinagar on October 19.
The document highlighted that evidence gathered by investigative agencies pointed to their involvement in the Red Fort terror blast case.
"Such associations or actions are evidently incompatible with the ethical standards, integrity, and public trust expected of medical practitioners, as outlined in the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002," the order stated.
The Jammu & Kashmir Medical Council has exercised its jurisdiction to annul the registrations of the three doctors, mandating the immediate removal of their names from the Register of Medical Practitioners maintained by the council.
"Following this removal, these practitioners will no longer be permitted to practice medicine or hold any medical appointments until further orders are issued," the directive added.
It was also mentioned that, according to notifications dated November 13, 2025, regarding the cancellation of these doctors' registrations, their names should be removed from the Indian Medical Register (IMR) / National Medical Register (NMR) without delay.
Reports have surfaced, though not yet confirmed, indicating that a similar directive has been issued regarding Dr. Shaheen Saeed, who was registered with the Uttar Pradesh Medical Council, and she has also been swiftly removed from the IMR/NMR.
