- Counter Intelligence Kashmir and Srinagar Police detained Irfan Ahmad Wagah and his wife in Nowgam, seizing phones and other devices that investigators say contained propaganda and operational instructions.
- Officials describe the case as a recruitment network targeting doctors and students, with alleged ties to proscribed groups including Jaish‑e‑Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat‑ul‑Hind.
- Multi‑state raids tied to the module recovered 350 kg of ammonium nitrate, 2,563 kg of suspected explosives, bomb‑making components, and an AK‑47 rifle from properties in Faridabad.
- Investigators are examining links among Irfan, Dr. Muzammil Shakeel, and Dr. Mohammad Umar, who is alleged to be connected to the Red Fort blast.
- The probe began after JeM posters appeared in Nowgam in October under UAPA and explosives laws, with inquiries now mapping finances and reported VOIP contacts in Afghanistan as further action is anticipated.
