Security agencies have uncovered alarming connections between the recent Delhi car blast and a sophisticated terror network after a high-intensity explosion near the iconic Red Fort shocked the nation. The investigation has zeroed in on Dr Shaheen Sayeed, who allegedly led the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed's women's wing in India, revealing an interstate terror module spanning multiple states.
Family Breaks Silence on Dr Shaheen's Activities
In exclusive revelations, family members of Dr Shaheen Sayeed have spoken out about her alleged involvement in terrorist activities. Her ex-husband, Dr Hayat Zafar, who lives in Kanpur and is himself a suspect in the Delhi blast case, expressed shock at the allegations.
"We were married and were living peacefully. We had two children. There was no problem of any kind," Dr Zafar told ANI. "I had no information that she had a connection with terrorists." According to his account, the couple married nine years ago but separated because "she wanted to go abroad."
Educational Background and Professional Life
Dr Shaheen's brother, Mohammad Shoaib, who resides in Lucknow and is also under investigation, described his sister as "really well educated" and expressed disbelief at the allegations. "She got really well educated and started living separately. I could not study that much and I stayed here... I still cannot believe this," he stated.
Kanpur Joint Commissioner of Police Ashutosh Kumar confirmed that Dr Shaheen worked as a lecturer in the Pharmacology Department at JSM College. "She taught students, and during that time, what were her activities, where did she go, whom did she talk to, is being investigated?" Kumar revealed that authorities are examining her connections with individuals previously involved in riots.
Interstate Terror Network Exposed
The investigation has revealed a sophisticated terror network connecting the Delhi blast with the recently busted Faridabad terror module of Jaish-e-Mohammed. Authorities believe the explosion near Lal Quila metro station gate number 1 on November 11 was "accidentally triggered" by a hastily assembled explosive device.
The blast occurred hours after security forces uncovered a "white collar" terror module involving Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, spanning Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Authorities have identified Pulwama-based doctor Umar Nabi as the alleged driver of the slow-moving Hyundai i20 car involved in the explosion.
The tragic incident claimed nearly 13 lives and left many others injured. In a major breakthrough, security agencies seized approximately 2,500 kilograms of ammonium nitrate, potassium chlorate, and sulphur from Faridabad and detained eight people, including three doctors, on November 10, just hours before the blast occurred.
Forensic Science Laboratory tests of samples from the Delhi blast site have indicated that one of the explosive materials used was likely ammonium nitrate, confirming the connection with the seized materials from Faridabad.
Besides Dr Shaheen Sayeed, another accused connected to Al-Falah University, Dr Muzammil Ganaie, has been arrested in the case. The investigation continues to uncover deeper connections within this extensive terror network.
