Delhi Red Fort blast: Charge sheet filed by J&K SIA, says ‘doctor terror module’ wanted to revive Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, gathered TATP for large explosions

On 16th April (Thursday), the State Investigation Agency (SIA) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police submitted its charge sheet against the 10 perpetrators involved in the Doctors Terror Module, linked to Al Falah University in Faridabad, which was behind the bomb blast near Delhi’s Red Fort. The charge sheet relates to a First Information Report (FIR) that was filed at the Nowgam Police Station in Srinagar.

The accused have been identified as Arif Nisar Dar, Yasir Ul Ashraf Bhat, Maqsood Ahmad Dar, Irfan Ahmad Wagay also known as Owais, Zameer Ahmad Ahanger alias Mutlashi, Muzamil Shakeel Ganaie also referred to as Musaib, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather alias Javaid, Dr Shaheen Saeed, Tufail Ahmad Bhat and Dr Umar Un Nabi who was the Red Fort suicide bomber.

“The case originates from an incident dated 19-10-2025, wherein provocative and threatening posters were pasted in the Nowgam area in the name of the proscribed terrorist outfit Jaish-e- Mohammad (JeM). The posters were aimed at spreading fear among the public, disturbing public order, and directly challenging the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India,” the official release read.

The comprehensive and continuous inquiry has revealed that the poster drive was an element of a broader, well-planned terrorist plan to revive the outlawed terrorist organisation Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGUH). The accused had established an exceedingly clandestine group that was proactive in recruitment, radicalisation and operational preparation for conducting terrorist strikes throughout the nation, as per reports.

According to the investigation, they secretly pushed for the re-establishment and operational expansion of AGUH while purposefully using the name JeM to capitalise on its infamous reputation and generate a psychological influence. This was an organised effort to deceive security agencies and disguise their true mission.

“Significantly, the module included highly educated individuals, including medical professionals, who misused their knowledge, access, and institutional spaces for unlawful activities. The accused were actively disseminating extremist propaganda through digital platforms and had undertaken procurement of materials and experimental activities related to explosive fabrication, including within residential premises and facilities linked to Al-Falah Medical College/University,” the statement informed.

The police highlighted that Triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a highly sensitive and volatile explosive utilised in multiple international terror acts, was selected by as a favoured substance due to the convenience of procuring the precursor materials. The module’s massive buildup of explosives and precursor supplies shocked security and investigative agencies across the country, emphasising the conspiracy’s magnitude, scale of readiness and potentially disastrous outcomes had it not been promptly discovered and eliminated.

The authorities further mentioned, “Through a comprehensive, evidence-driven investigation, SIA has successfully dismantled the entire terrorist network and its support structure. The investigation has unearthed clinching and irrefutable evidence comprising recoveries, digital forensics, scientific analysis, and corroborative witness accounts, which firmly establish the complicity, active participation, and coordinated roles of each accused in the conspiracy. The material brought on record not only exposes the depth and spread of the module.”

The inter-state terror conspiracy involving Kashmiri Muslim doctors was uncovered last year, with nearly 3000 kilograms of explosives and weapons recovered and multiple arrests made as the investigation continues in the matter.
