Kashmir Cleric Arrested in Probe of Faridabad ‘White‑Collar’ Terror Module

Investigators describe a network that enlisted doctors to mask militant planning.

Overview

  • Counter Intelligence Kashmir and Srinagar Police arrested Maulvi Irfan Ahmad Wagay and his wife on Tuesday in Srinagar.
  • Officials say the Faridabad bust yielded 350 kg of ammonium nitrate, an AK-47 and bomb components, plus 2,563 kg of suspected explosives at a second property.
  • Authorities allege the Shopian imam radicalised medical students and circulated Jaish-e-Mohammed propaganda via encrypted platforms, with suspected guidance from Nangarhar.
  • Police have linked the module to doctors including Muzammil Shakeel and Mohammad Umar, who is alleged to have driven the car that exploded near Delhi’s Red Fort.
  • The probe began after JeM posters appeared in Nowgam on October 19, and teams are scrutinising seized devices, financial flows and inter-state links.
