The poster incident in mid-October turned out to be the thread that guided investigators through weapons caches, massive explosive stockpiles, foreign handlers, financial trails and ideological radicalisation.
This development comes after the names of several doctors surfaced in connection with the Red Fort blast and the Jaish-e-Mohammad-linked Islamist terror module, which was behind the blast.
Investigators said Muzamil described himself as a “mere labourer” compared to Umar, who he claimed was far more experienced, intelligent, and influential.
Uttar Pradesh Panchayati Raj and Minority Welfare Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar said that in the past, several madrasas in the state have been found engaging in illegal activities, and therefore, the scrutiny is required.
The terror accused is Mirza Shadab Baig, the main accused in the 2008 serial bombings in Delhi and Ahmedabad, who is on the run and is believed to be living in Pakistan.
According to a report by the Indian Express, the investigating agencies have discovered a "widespread network" that connects "foreign handlers" in Afghanistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to local operatives in India.
