Red Fort blast: Doctors linked to terror network, 1 arrested

India

A 31-year-old doctor, Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, has been arrested for his involvement in a terror network linked to the November 10 Red Fort car bombing that killed at least 12 people.
Rather, previously a senior resident at Government Medical College Anantnag, was caught on CCTV putting up pro-Jaish-e-Mohammed posters in Srinagar just weeks before the attack.

Explosives, weapons seized from multiple locations

Investigators found Rather was part of a wider group of "medically qualified operatives" spread across Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and Jammu & Kashmir.
After his arrest, police raided multiple locations—seizing rifles and thousands of kilos of explosives.
Two other doctors linked to the case were also arrested; another, Dr. Umar Mohammad from Kashmir, is believed to have carried out the bombing and died in the blast after their terror module was exposed.
