According to officials, Dr. Adil Ahmed, a resident of Anantnag and former medical practitioner at GMC Anantnag, was apprehended from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on November 7. During interrogation, he confessed to storing explosives in Faridabad. Acting on his disclosure, police raided the premises and recovered 14 bags containing RDX, 5 litres of chemicals, 84 rounds of ammunition, two automatic pistols, and an AK-56 rifle.
Further investigation led to the arrest of Dr. Mujahil Shakeel from Pulwama, Kashmir, on the same day. Sources revealed that Adil had rented the Faridabad accommodation three months ago, using it exclusively as a storage site for weapons and explosives rather than for residential purposes.
The case has triggered a multi-state investigation spanning Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Gujarat. Over a dozen police vehicles and specialized units participated in the Faridabad raid, underscoring the operation’s scale and sensitivity.
A senior police officer confirmed that a case under the UnlawfulActivities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and relevant sections of the Indian Arms Act, 1959, has been registered against the accused. “The scale of recovery points to a larger network with possible terror connections,” the officer said.
Authorities are now tracing the origin of the explosives and identifying other potential operatives linked to the network. Both suspects remain in custody for further interrogation.
