A massive crackdown on a suspected 'white-collar terror module' linked to Pakistan-backed Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH) has left one of its key suspects, Dr Umar Nabi, in a state of panic and desperation. According to investigators, the raids in Haryana's Faridabad between November 8 and 10 led to the recovery of nearly 3,000 kg of explosives, detonators, and other bomb-making materials. The crackdown also resulted in the arrest of several individuals, including Dr Muzammil from the Al-Falah Medical College. Dr Umar, a Pulwama-based doctor who worked at Faridabad's Al-Falah Hospital, is believed to have driven the white Hyundai i20 that exploded near the Red Fort on Monday evening, killing at least 10 people. Forensic teams have established that the explosives used in the Red Fort blast matched those recovered in Faridabad. Security agencies suspect that the 'white-collar terror module' was operating from Pakistan and other Gulf countries, with foreign handlers believed to be involved. The probe into the Red Fort blast is now being carried out by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The crackdown on the terror module has prevented a much larger terror conspiracy, with plans for coordinated attacks across India, officials said. The investigation is ongoing, and the role of Dr Umar in the blast is yet to be determined. A timeline of the events leading up to the Red Fort blast reveals that the starting point was the discovery of objectionable JeM posters in Srinagar and Nowgam on October 19. The subsequent arrests and raids led to the recovery of explosives and arms, ultimately resulting in the crackdown on the terror module.
