| After filing chargesheet, police move Interpol against doctor | | ‘White Collar’ Terror Module Case | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 18: After filing a chargesheet against ten accused in the infamous “doctors’ terror module,” the Jammu and Kashmir Police has initiated steps to secure the arrest of another key accused, reaching out to Interpol for international assistance.
Police sources said that a proposal has already been sent to Interpol for the issuance of a Red Corner Notice against Dr Muzaffar, a resident of Kulgam district, who is believed to be involved in the interstate terror module busted in October 2025 in Faridabad, Haryana.
Dr Muzaffar is the brother of Dr Adil Rather, who was earlier arrested after an AK-47 rifle was recovered from his locker at Government Medical College, Anantnag. Notably, Dr Muzaffar had left his job at the same institution in October 2024.
Investigations revealed that his name surfaced during the interrogation of other arrested accused. Officials said he was part of a group of doctors who travelled to Türkiye in 2021 along with Muzammil Ganaie and Umar Nabi. The latter was allegedly driving the explosives-laden car that detonated outside the Red Fort in October 2025, leaving 12 people dead and several others injured.
Police said efforts were immediately launched to trace Dr Muzaffar, but it was found that he had left India for Dubai in August. He is now suspected to be hiding in Afghanistan. Investigators further revealed that Dr Muzaffar, Dr Muzammil Ganaie, and Dr Mohd Umar had stayed in Türkiye for nearly 21 days.
The development comes a day after the State Investigation Agency (SIA) filed a chargesheet against ten accused in the case. The “doctors’ terror module” was unearthed following the Red Fort car blast in New Delhi in October 2025, which led to the arrest of several medical professionals allegedly linked to the conspiracy.
According to the chargesheet, the accused had procured Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), a highly volatile explosive commonly used in global terror attacks, owing to the ease of sourcing its precursor materials.
The SIA said the scale of procurement and accumulation of explosive substances by the module has alarmed security agencies across the country, highlighting the seriousness of the conspiracy and the potential for large-scale devastation had the plot not been foiled in time.
The agency has filed the chargesheet in connection with an FIR registered at Police Station Nowgam in Srinagar, naming ten accused, including four doctors. Officials said substantial evidence has been collected, establishing a strong prima facie case against those involved. |
