Overview
- Faridabad’s police chief said the haul included an assault rifle not classified as an AK‑47, a pistol, 20 timers, 24 remotes, walkie‑talkies, wiring, and ammunition, alongside the suspected ammonium nitrate.
- Officials clarified early reports of RDX were incorrect, stating the seized chemical appears to be ammonium nitrate pending forensic confirmation.
- The recovery followed the arrest of Dr Adil Ahmad Rather, traced from Jaish posters in Srinagar to Saharanpur, whose questioning led police to Dr Muzammil Shakeel linked to an Al‑Falah campus address in Faridabad.
- J&K Police say the wider case involves a transnational module with alleged links to Jaish‑e‑Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat‑ul‑Hind, with seven arrests reported and funding and handler networks under probe with IB coordination.
- A rifle linked to the accused was reportedly found in a woman doctor’s car now under scrutiny, cases have been filed under the UAPA and Arms Act, and central agency participation including the NIA is expected.
