At least nine people have lost their lives and 24 others are injured after a devastating explosion rocked a police station in Jammu and Kashmir's Nowgam area in the early hours of November 15. The blast occurred while a team of police officials and forensic experts were conducting an inspection inside the premises. According to officials, the fire quickly spread, engulfing the compound, and fire tenders were rushed to the scene to put out the flames. Several vehicles parked in the area were damaged, and roads leading to the police station were shut down. The police station in Nowgam, Srinagar district, has been the site of a critical operation. The explosives that detonated were retrieved from a massive cache seized in Haryana's Faridabad, linked to a 'white-collar' terror module. The cache, which included 2,900 kilograms of ammonium nitrate and bomb-making materials, was discovered in two rented rooms in Dhauj and Fatehpur Taga villages. The investigation led to the arrest of Dr Muzammil Shakil, a 35-year-old physician from Pulwama, who was teaching at Al-Falah Medical College. Muzammil's interrogation revealed a connection to the alleged Jaish-e-Mohammed module in Faridabad. The police are expected to provide an update on the blast at 10 am. Seven bodies were recovered from the scene, while two others were found after the explosion. The dead bodies were taken to the Police Control Room in Srinagar. Five of the injured remain in critical condition, and the death toll is likely to rise. The police are conducting a thorough investigation into the incident.
