Hours before a car exploded in a crowded market near Delhi’s Red Fort on Monday, the Jammu and Kashmir police said it had cracked open an “inter-state and transnational terror module”.

Over the last three weeks, the Jammu and Kashmir police arrested seven people as part of its investigations.

Among those were two doctors from Kashmir – Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather who works at a hospital in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, and Dr Muzamil Shakeel who is employed at a hospital in Faridabad, Haryana. Jammu and Kashmir police officials, who declined to be identified, said another Kashmiri doctor, working at the same Faridabad hospital, has gone missing since the arrests began.

The module, the police said, was linked with the banned “terrorist organizations, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind”.
