In a significant development linked to the Red Fort car explosion in Delhi, the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) police conducted an extensive investigation lasting 20 days to uncover a terror module associated with two notorious terrorist organizations: Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AguH). This investigation culminated in the arrest of Shaheen Saeed, a 40-year-old woman, marking her as the eighth suspect in the terrorism-related offenses as the police intensify their efforts to combat such threats in the region.
On November 11, 2025, police sources confirmed that around 20 additional individuals were being interrogated in connection to the terror module case. JeM is known as a Pakistan-based militant group, while AguH represents a faction of Al Qaeda operating within India, recognized for its extremism and violent agenda.
A key breakthrough came after the J&K police discovered a pamphlet in Srinagar on October 19, urging locals to deny police entry into their businesses and to abstain from cooperating. This led investigators to a cleric in Shopian, whose arrest helped unravel a significant terror plot. Subsequent raids in Faridabad on November 9 and 10 yielded alarming results, including the seizure of 2,900 kg of explosive materials and advanced weaponry.
The car bombing incident in Delhi occurred on November 10, further intensifying scrutiny on the identified suspects. Authorities apprehended five individuals from the Kashmir Valley and three medical professionals tied to Al Falah University, who were arrested across different locations including Faridabad and Saharanpur, between October 30 and November 8.
Among the arrested doctors was Dr. Shaheen, linked to the transport of a seized assault rifle found in her vehicle. This evidence suggests her awareness of the unlawful activities, posing a severe risk to public safety. Dr. Shaheen, hailing from Lucknow, was in close association with Dr. Muzamil Ahmad Ganaie, also implicated in the case along with Adeel from Kulgam.
According to police sources, the initial investigations underestimated the case's severity until the cleric's arrest led to the recovery of sophisticated weaponry, highlighting the alarming scale of the planned attack. Key findings included the discovery of 350 kg of ammonium nitrate in a rented accommodation utilized by Dr. Muzamil.
In response to the escalating tensions following the Red Fort incident, Home Minister Amit Shah convened a review meeting with high-ranking officials, emphasizing the urgency of capturing those responsible for the attack. He assured that all individuals involved would face severe repercussions from law enforcement agencies, underscoring the government's commitment to addressing terrorism effectively and ensuring public safety.
