Earlier, Jammu and Kashmir police seized an AK-47 rifle and ammunition from Dr Adil's locker at the Government Medical College in Anantnag
A team of Jammu and Kashmir police recovered 360 kilograms of explosives suspected to be ammonium nitrate, and an assault riflefrom a medical college in Haryana’s Faridabad district near Delhi. Jammu and Kashmir Police uncovered the cache during a follow-up operation based on information provided by a Kashmiri doctor arrested in connection with the ongoing terror investigation.
The recovery was made during a raid at Al Falah Hospital in Faridabad, based on information provided by Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather during interrogation. Police also arrested another doctor, Dr Muzamil Shakeel, who taught at the medical college, in connection with the case.
As per initial reports, around 350 kilograms of RDX and two AK-47 rifles were said to have to been seized in the college. However, the Faridabad police commissioner later clarified that the chemical substance was not RDX, but ammonium nitrate, which is used in making explosives.
"It is an ongoing joint operation between Haryana police and J&K police. An accused, Dr Muzammil, was nabbed. 360 kg of inflammable material was recovered yesterday, which is possibly ammonium nitrate. It is not RDX... The operation is still underway. The nabbed accused taught at the Al-Falah University here," Faridabad Commissioner of Police, Satender Kumar, said. J&K Police also said they suspect the material to be a locally procured chemical.
Apart from Muzammil, police have also arrested a Muslim cleric of the mosque where the former used to go for prayers. Following the cleric's arrest, his wife said: "The Police have taken away Imam Sahib. I don't know why he has been taken away. The Police never came to us before...Imam Sahib has been serving at the mosque for the past 20 years...The doctor used to come here five times a day, every day to offer namaz. He hailed from Kashmir."
The discovery came days after police recovered another AK-47 from Rather's locker, a former resident doctor at the Government Medical College, Anantnag. He was arrested in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, for allegedly putting up Jaish-e-Mohammed posters in Srinagar.
Following Adil's arrest, another doctor was also detained. During interrogation, he revealed crucial information that eventually led to the discovery in Faridabad.
Probe Hints Terror Network, Leads Police From Anantnag To Faridabad
According to police, the probe began with Dr. Adil’s arrest, but subsequent questioning of another doctor from Anantnag led police to Faridabad. Acting on this lead, a joint team raided another flat connected to the second suspect, recovering two assault rifles and a large quantity of explosives.
Sources revealed that at least three doctors were in constant contact and maintained links stretching from South Kashmir to Haryana. Early findings suggest a wide terror network using medical institutions as a front for illegal activities.
Top Jammu and Kashmir Police officials described the case as “far beyond individual involvement,” pointing to an organised structure facilitating terror operations through educational and medical networks.
For the past three days, coordinated raids have been underway across Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Over 500 locations have reportedly been searched, resulting in more than 30 detentions. Authorities believe the network extends across multiple states and are now mapping its financial and logistical links.
NIA, IB On High Alert
Following the discovery in Faridabad, local and central security agencies have heightened alert levels. Teams from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) have joined the operation, alongside forensic experts examining the seized weapons and explosives for origin and composition.
Officials say a key breakthrough could emerge within hours, as interrogations of the detained doctors continue. Authorities are investigating whether the doctors were ideologically radicalized, coerced, or funded by banned organisations.
“This is an ongoing investigation, and the mastermind behind this conspiracy will be revealed soon,” a senior Jammu and Kashmir Police officer said, adding that the network may extend far beyond regional boundaries.
