The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) is conducting searches in the case of Al Falah University, its trustees, and related persons/entities, days after at least three doctors associated with the institution were found allegedly to be the part of a “terror” module.
Umar Un Nabi, the driver of the vehicle carrying the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) that exploded near the Red Fort on November 10, worked at Al Falah University (Faridabad, Haryana) as an assistant professor in the General Medicine Department.
“The searches are being carried out since 5 a.m.” said an official. The ED is looking into the financial trails linked to the “white collar” terror module case.
Earlier this week, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two persons in connection with the car bomb blast. One accused, Jasir Bilal Wani aka Danish, was arrested from Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir. He is a resident of Qazigund in Anantnag. Before the explosion, he had allegedly provided technical support for carrying out terror attacks by modifying drones and trying to make rockets.
The NIA has alleged that Danish was a co-conspirator and had worked closely with the alleged terrorist, Umar Un Nabi, to plan the car bomb attack.
The agency also arrested Amir Rashid Ali, in whose name the car involved in the blast was registered, from Delhi. He is a resident of Samboora in J&K’s Pampore and had allegedly come to Delhi to facilitate the purchase of the car which was eventually used as a vehicle-borne IED to trigger the blast. Nabi was from Pulwama.
According to the NIA, it is investigating various leads in close coordination with the police of Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, besides various other sister agencies.
The J&K police had earlier seized about 2,900 kg of explosives, including ammonium nitrate, during the raids in Faridabad on November 9-10, after unearthing the inter-State “white collar” terror module in Kashmir. Detonators, batteries, timers, and firearms, including an AK-56 rifle and a Krinkov, were also found.
Three doctors — Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, Adeel Ahmad Rather, and Shaheen Saeed, — were among those arrested in that case. The investigators found that Nabi (who allegedly triggered the blast), Ganaie, and Saeed were linked to Al Falah University. Also, Nabi, Ganaie, and Rather were from South Kashmir.
Based on the findings so far, the agencies suspect that the “white collar” module was connected to two terror outfits, Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AguH).
