Overview
- Authorities say seven suspects, including two doctors, were arrested as coordinated teams searched locations in Srinagar, Anantnag, Ganderbal, Shopian, Faridabad and Saharanpur with support from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh Police and the Intelligence Bureau.
- Faridabad searches recovered roughly 360 kg of suspected ammonium nitrate from a rented room linked to a Kashmiri doctor, along with 20 timers, remote controls, batteries, wiring and other IED components.
- Investigators also seized firearms and ammunition, including a Chinese Star pistol, a Beretta pistol, an AK-56 and an AK Krinkov rifle, as part of the broader haul tied to the module.
- Police say the case began with JeM posters found in Srinagar’s Nowgam area on October 19, prompting an FIR and a probe that traced encrypted communications and logistical support across state lines.
- Forensic testing of the seized materials and financial tracing are ongoing, and while police report seven arrests, some outlets cite an additional arrest of a woman doctor whose car was found with an AK-47.
