A joint operation led by the Jammu and Kashmir Police, supported by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and local law enforcement, has uncovered a major terror conspiracy on the outskirts of Delhi. Authorities have clarified that the explosive substance recovered during the raid in Faridabad was ammonium nitrate, not RDX as initially believed.
According to Faridabad Police Commissioner Satender Gupta, tests confirmed the material’s composition, and a detailed briefing will be shared with the media soon. Officials said the recovered items could have been used to manufacture multiple high-intensity IEDs, posing a significant threat if deployed.
During the search of a rented residence in Dhauj village, police seized 14 bags of ammonium nitrate weighing around 100 kilograms, an AK-47 rifle, 84 live rounds, timing devices, chemical solutions, and dozens of components suspected to be used in bomb assembly.
The property was rented by Dr. Muzammil Shakil, an MBBS graduate and faculty member at Al Falah Medical College, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir. Shakil was detained by the J&K Police on October 30, following the arrest of another suspect, Dr. Adil Ahmad Rather, linked to the same terror group.
Investigators believe the two were part of a larger extremist network with possible cross-border links, planning coordinated attacks across northern India. Further interrogations are underway to trace the source of the explosives and identify additional collaborators.
