NIA Raids Target Educated Terror Module Linked to Delhi Blast

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has intensified operations against a sophisticated terror module in Jammu and Kashmir linked to the November 10 Delhi car blast, resulting in multiple raids across various locations including Pulwama, Shopian, and Uttar Pradesh. The investigation has revealed a network involving educated professionals, including doctors and engineers, who have been radicalized and exploited for terrorist activities under the direction of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) handlers in Pakistan. Significant seizures were made, including nearly 2,900 kg of bomb-making materials and several firearms, underscoring the advanced operational capabilities of this module. Key arrests include Moulvi Irfan Ahmad Wagay, the alleged mastermind, and Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, among others, who provided logistical support to the attackers. The NIA is collaborating with local police forces and has issued alerts to prevent fugitives from fleeing, highlighting the agency’s commitment to dismantling this transnational terror network and enhancing national security amidst evolving threats.
