A car bomb detonated near the Red Fort on Monday evening — killing 13 people and injuring several others. The blast occurred hours after eight people were arrested and 2,900 kg of explosives seized — uncovering a “white collar” terror module that involved the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, and spanning Kashmir, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Among those arrested on Monday were Dr Muzammil Ganaie and Dr Shaheen Sayeed, both connected to the Al Falah University in Faridabad, from where 360 kg of ammonium nitrate was recovered.
Who is Shaheen Sayeed?
Lucknow-based Shaheen Sayeed is one of the doctors who was arrested after she discarded an assault rifle from her car into a dustbin following the arrests. The purported girlfriend of Dr Muzammil is also accused of being an active part of the terror module and maintaining links with the network in Kashmir.
She served as the Head of the Department of Pharmacology from September 1, 2012, to December 31, 2013, at Kanpur Medical College. In 2012, Dr Shaheen Saeed submitted her medical form upon joining Kanpur Medical College. After that, Shaheen remained at Kanpur Medical College until 2013, working as a lecturer. She was later transferred to Kannauj Medical College.

Who are the other doctors?
Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganai from Pulwama in Kashmir was nabbed from Faridabad on Monday — with officials finding a massive cache of suspected ammonium nitrate, weapons and bomb-making equipment at his rented home. He had worked as a doctor with Al-Falah University and taught MBBS students. His colleague, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, is believed to be the second suspect, while a third Al-Falah doctor, Umar Nabi, is believed to be the deceased “bomber” seen in CCTV footage.
Rater was arrested from Qazigund on Monday evening, with police recovering an AK-47 rifle from his locker at GMC Srinagar. He is also considered to be part of the Faridabad terror module that was involved in amassing explosives, arms and bomb-making equipment. Meanwhile, Nabi remained missing after the arrest of his colleagues — with police sources telling The Indian Express that they suspect him to be the car “bomber” seen in the CCTV footage.
