New Delhi / Srinagar, Nov 11:
In one of the biggest anti-terror operations in recent years, security agencies have busted a high-profile “white-collar” terror module operating across multiple states, including Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
Eight people have been arrested, including three doctors, and an astonishing 2,900 kilograms of explosive materials have been recovered.

Operation Across Three States
The operation was jointly carried out by the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Haryana Police, and Uttar Pradesh Police with assistance from central intelligence agencies.
The breakthrough came after detailed surveillance of suspicious movements and communications between professional individuals suspected of aiding terrorist activities.

Doctors Turned Radical Operatives
Among those arrested are three medical professionals —
Dr. Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, from Kulgam, working at Al-Falah University, Faridabad.
Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, a doctor from Kulgam posted in Uttar Pradesh.
Dr. Shaheen Sayeed, a female doctor from Lucknow, from whose vehicle an AK-47 rifle and ammunition were recovered.
Police sources revealed that these individuals were part of a larger ideological network using professional fronts to fund, plan, and execute terror-related activities.

Huge Cache of Explosives Seized
Authorities seized nearly 3 tonnes of explosives, including ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, sulphur, and detonating devices such as timers, circuits, and remote-control triggers.
The explosives were found stored at multiple locations in Faridabad, Lucknow, and Srinagar.
Officials say the seized material was powerful enough to carry out several large-scale bombings.

Arms and Ammunition Recovered
The raid also led to the recovery of several sophisticated weapons, including:
1 AK-56 assault rifle
1 Krinkov rifle
1 Beretta pistol
1 Chinese Star pistol
Multiple magazines and hundreds of live rounds
These weapons are believed to have been sourced through cross-border smuggling networks with possible links to Pakistan.

Use of Technology and Encrypted Channels
Investigators have uncovered that the accused were using encrypted messaging apps and online platforms to communicate with handlers abroad.
They allegedly radicalized students and young professionals under the guise of social service, medical aid, and educational programs.
---
Funding and Ideological Links
According to officials, the module was funded through front organizations claiming to promote welfare and education. However, these funds were diverted to purchase explosives and weapons.
Investigations are underway to trace international financial links and possible terror funding networks.

Police Statement
A senior officer from Jammu and Kashmir Police stated:
> “This is not a conventional terror cell. It is a white-collar network of educated professionals using their credentials to conceal radical motives. Their arrest has prevented potential large-scale destruction.”
---
Wider Implications
Security experts have warned that the involvement of highly educated individuals in such activities indicates a dangerous shift in the terrorism landscape — from ground-level operatives to professional and ideological planners.
---
Ongoing Investigation
More arrests are likely as agencies continue to track down other members associated with this sophisticated network.
Forensic teams are examining the explosive materials to identify their intended use and possible target locations.
