Blast at J-K police station while handling samples of explosives seized in Faridabad; eight injured

Treating the incident as a serious threat, the Srinagar police registered a case on October 19 and formed a dedicated team.Meticulous, frame-by-frame analysis of CCTV footage led investigators to identify the first three suspects — arrested Arif Nisar Dar alias Sahil, Yasir-ul-Ashraf and Maqsood Ahmad Dar alias Shahid.These three had cases of stone pelting registered against them, and they were seen pasting the posters.Their interrogation led to the arrest of Maulvi Irfan Ahmad, a former paramedic turned Imam (preacher) from Shopian, who supplied the posters and is believed to have radicalised the doctors using his easy access to the medical community.The trail ultimately led the Srinagar police to Al Falah University in Faridabad, where they arrested Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie and Dr Shaheen Sayeed.It was here that the massive cache of chemicals, including ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur, was seized.Investigators believe the entire module was run by a core trio of doctors — Muzammil Ganaie (arrested), Umar Nabi (driver of the car laden with explosives that exploded near the Red Fort on November 10) and Muzzaffar Rather (absconding) The role of the eighth arrested person, Dr Adeel Rather — the brother of the absconding Dr Muzzaffar Rather — from whom an AK-56 rifle was seized, is still under investigation.
