Investigating agencies detained a doctor from Pathankot in Punjab for questioning in connection with the Delhi blast case. The 45-year-old surgeon has been working at a private medical college and hospital in Pathankot for more than two years.
He had previously worked at Al Falah University in Haryana's Faridabad district, to which the prime suspects in the "white collar terror module" case were also linked.
Two doctors from Nuh district of Haryana had been detained for questioning in connection with the case on Friday. One of them did his apprenticeship at Al Falah University after completing his MBBS course. His apprenticeship ended on November 2. The other doctor, a former student of the university, was working with a private hospital in Nuh.
Investigating agencies had busted a "white collar terror module" with links to terrorist outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, on Monday. They had seized 2,900 kilograms of explosive substances and arrested eight people, including three doctors linked to Al Falah University. The module was operating across Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
Hours after the seizure, a high-intensity blast ripped through a slow-moving car in the heavily crowded Red Ford metro station area in Delhi, killing 13 people and injuring several others. A DNA test confirmed that Dr Umar Nabi, an assistant professor at the university, was driving the exploded car.
The agencies have also detained several others for questioning after the incidents. Investigators have found that the prime suspects allegedly used a Switzerland-based encrypted messaging app to plan and coordinate their terror activities, investigating agencies said.
