How educated professionals are linked to Kashmir terror network
A car bomb near Delhi's Red Fort has uncovered a surprising terror network involving educated professionals such as doctors, professors, and NGO workers.
Authorities say these individuals used encrypted chats and secret money transfers to hide their activities, with the Popular Front of India (PFI) now under investigation for possibly funneling donations into terrorism.
The broader terror network operated across regions like Kashmir and Kerala, blending extremist plans into everyday jobs.
Extremist goals in everyday jobs
Investigators found that members took advantage of their trusted positions to push extremist goals without raising suspicion.
For example, Dr. Ahmed Mohiuddin Syed—currently detained—allegedly planning chemical poisoning as part of this network.
The group stayed connected through digital channels guided by handlers in Pakistan and Gulf countries, showing just how deeply they embedded themselves in regular society.
