Overview
- Tufail Niyaz Bhat, 25, of Srinagar’s Batamaloo area, was picked up by CARGO and handed to the State Investigation Agency for questioning over suspected links to the module.
- The investigation began after threatening posters appeared in Srinagar’s Bunpora–Nowgam area, leading police to Al‑Falah University in Faridabad and uncovering an alleged ‘white‑collar’ network involving medical professionals.
- Authorities say the module was behind the car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10, identifying Al‑Falah assistant professor Dr Umar Nabi as the suspected suicide attacker.
- Earlier arrests sent to NIA custody include doctors Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie, Adeel Rather and Shaheen Saeed, as well as preacher Maulvi Irfan Ahmed Wagay, with Amir Rashid Ali and Jasir Bilal Wani also named in the case.
- Reports cite a seizure of about 2,900 kg of explosives in Faridabad and a non‑bailable warrant for Dr Muzzaffar Ahmad, who is reported to have left India.
