'White-collar terrorism': Doctor held for storing explosives near Delhi
Dr. Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie, a 35-year-old doctor teaching at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad, has been arrested as a key accused in the terror module linked to the November 10 Red Fort blast, which killed at least 10 people.
His arrest came after police uncovered a network of radicalized associates and found he'd stashed over 2,900kg of bomb-making chemicals in rented rooms just outside Delhi.
Ganaie used university labs to assemble bombs
Investigators say Ganaie played a central part—coordinating storage and movement of explosives across NCR with two other doctors.
He's believed to have used university labs to put together bombs, while encrypted chats are being checked for foreign links.
Originally from Jammu and Kashmir, he moved to Delhi-NCR about four years ago and was working as a faculty member at Al-Falah Medical College when caught during an October raid that exposed a "terror logistics base."
Analysis: Threats can come from unexpected places
This case shines a light on "white-collar terrorism," where trusted professionals use their skills for dangerous plots.
Catching Ganaie before the attack shows how intelligence work is evolving—and reminds us that threats can come from unexpected places, even those we're supposed to trust.
