A room in this lodge was rented by Muzammil Shakeel, a Kashmiri doctor and a teacher at Al Falaha University, from where 350 kg of explosives, suspected to be ammonium nitrate, and a cache of arms and ammunition were recovered in a joint operation by Jammu and Kashmir Police and Haryana Police in Faridabad on Monday.

Overview

  • J&K Police, working with Faridabad and central agencies, recovered suspected ammonium nitrate, an assault rifle, a pistol, magazines, 20 timers, remotes, wiring, walkie‑talkies and other IED components from a rented site in Dhauj.
  • Faridabad’s police chief said the chemical is not RDX and the firearm is an assault rifle similar to an AK‑47, not an AK‑47, with about 83 live rounds also seized.
  • The cache was traced after the arrest and interrogation of Dr Adil Ahmad Rather, whose disclosures led police to Dr Muzammil Shakeel and the Faridabad location; both doctors are in custody.
  • Cases have been registered under the Arms Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, with seized materials sent for forensic analysis and the operation continuing.
  • Investigators are mapping supply chains, funding routes and potential cross‑border links, and agencies including the NIA are expected to join as further arrests and recoveries are pursued.
