Dr. Zafar Hayat, an ophthalmologist in Lucknow, met Dr. Shaheen when she joined Kanpur's GSVM Medical College in 2003. They were married for 12 years, during which time she expressed a desire to move abroad, while he wanted to stay in India. Their marriage ended in divorce in 2015. Dr. Hayat described his former wife as a calm and secular person who never discussed religion or ideology. He said they had two children together, but after their separation, there was no contact between them. Dr. Hayat is now raising their children alone. Dr. Shaheen's arrest is part of a larger terror module investigation that spans from Kashmir to Delhi. Police allege that she was living in Faridabad with a key accused, Dr. Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, and that the two were in a relationship. Her younger brother, Dr. Parvez Ansari, was also arrested for links to the same network. The Jammu and Kashmir Police are probing whether Dr. Shaheen personally transported explosives recovered in Faridabad or acted as a logistical facilitator for the network. Her financial transactions, phone records, and encrypted communications are being examined to determine if she was in contact with handlers abroad or had prior knowledge of the module's plans."
