The ongoing investigation into the 10 November Delhi bomb blast has exposed a chilling web of clandestine hideouts maintained by prime accused Dr Muzammil Ganaie, a Kashmiri PhD holder turned terror operative, in sleepy Faridabad villages located barely four kilometres from Al-Falah University where he taught students by day. Intelligence sources confirmed that Ganaie systematically rented at least three separate properties across Fatehpur Taga, Dhauj and Khori Jamalpur under false identities to store explosives and plan attacks.

In Khori Jamalpur, Ganaie approached former sarpanch Jumma Khan and leased an entire standalone three-bedroom house built above a plastic raw material factory for ₹8,000 per month, claiming he needed space to launch a Kashmiri dry-fruit business. The landlord, who first met Ganaie at Al-Falah Hospital while his nephew received cancer treatment, allowed the tenancy without suspicion and watched the quiet tenant come and go between April and July this year.

National Investigation Agency teams recently brought the shackled suspect back to the same village, where officers spent several hours grilling Jumma Khan and reconstructing the timeline. The shaken landlord told investigators that Ganaie abruptly vacated the premises after three months citing excessive summer heat, leaving behind no trace of the deadly cargo that had briefly passed through the property.

Separate raids established that Ganaie had earlier stockpiled substantial quantities of high-grade explosive precursors for almost twelve days inside a small brick room illegally constructed on a farmer’s field before carefully transferring the material to another safe house owned by local cleric Ishtiyak Ahmed in Fatehpur Taga, the location that yielded detonators and circuit boards during the initial Special Cell operation.

The revelation of multiple operational bases nestled in peaceful rural pockets surrounding a prominent educational institution has sent alarm bells ringing across security agencies about the ease with which highly educated terror suspects can embed themselves in civilian areas while preparing strikes against the national capital.
