The State Investigation Agency (SIA) of Jammu and Kashmir has launched a determined and large-scale offensive against the remaining pillars of the terror infrastructure that orchestrated the devastating November 10 suicide bombing in the heart of New Delhi. The attack, executed through a Hyundai i20 packed with a high-intensity Improvised Explosive Device (IED), killed 15 innocent civilians and left more than two dozen seriously injured near the historic Red Fort and the bustling Chandni Chowk market, sending shockwaves across the nation.

In a series of meticulously planned raids conducted in the early hours, SIA sleuths, backed by local police and Central Reserve Police Force personnel, simultaneously raided multiple locations in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district and Srinagar’s densely populated Batamaloo area. The primary objective of these operations is to completely dismantle the clandestine weapons supply chain that sustained the suicide bomber, Dr Umar Un Nabi, and his highly educated accomplices operating under the banner of Jaish-e-Mohammed’s so-called “white-collar module.”

The search teams zeroed in on the residence of Tufail Niyaz Bhat, an air-conditioning technician from Diyarwani in Batamaloo, who was previously arrested for procuring and delivering a rifle that was later recovered from a locker belonging to prime accused Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather at Government Medical College Hospital in Anantnag. In a parallel raid in Wakoora, Ganderbal, authorities thoroughly searched the house of Zameer Ahangar, from whom investigators had earlier seized a pistol supplied by Maulvi Irfan Ahmad Wagey, the alleged mastermind behind the radicalisation of the entire university-based group.

Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, suicide bomber Dr Umar Un Nabi, Dr Muzammil Shakeel, and Dr Shaheen Saeed — all former or current affiliates of Faridabad’s Al Falah University — remain in the custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Credible sources have confirmed that Umar Un Nabi conducted multiple chemical experiments inside his hostel room on the university campus to perfect the deadly explosive mixture eventually used in the Delhi attack, highlighting the alarming sophistication of this new breed of highly qualified terrorists.

These fresh raids represent a pivotal escalation in the multi-agency investigation, aimed at permanently severing the arms pipeline and logistical support system that enabled a group of doctors and professionals to execute one of the most audacious terrorist strikes on the national capital in recent decades. Authorities have indicated that further arrests and recoveries are imminent as the noose tightens around remaining associates of the Jaish-e-Mohammed module.
