Srinagar, Apr 16 (NVI): The State Investigation Agency (SIA) of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday filed a chargesheet against 10 accused in a terror conspiracy case involving a covert network described as the “Doctors Terror Module”, officials said.
The chargesheet has been filed in connection with an FIR registered at Police Station Nowgam here following the appearance of provocative and threatening posters on October 19, 2025, purportedly in the name of banned outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), they said.
According to the SIA, the posters were aimed at creating fear among civilians, disturbing public order and challenging the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country.
Investigations revealed that the poster campaign was part of a larger conspiracy to revive the proscribed outfit Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), officials said.
“The accused had formed a clandestine module involved in radicalisation, recruitment and preparations for carrying out terror activities,” an official statement said.
The agency said the group used the name of JeM to exploit its notoriety and create a psychological impact, while covertly working towards re-establishing AGuH, in a bid to mislead security agencies.
Officials said the module comprised highly educated individuals, including medical professionals, who allegedly misused their expertise and access for unlawful activities.
During the investigation, it was found that the accused disseminated extremist content through digital platforms and procured materials linked to fabrication of improvised explosive devices, including from residential premises and facilities associated with a private medical college.
The probe further indicated that the group had identified Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), a highly volatile explosive, as a preferred material due to the relative ease of sourcing its precursor components.
“The scale of accumulation of explosive materials highlighted the seriousness of the conspiracy and the potential threat had the plot not been foiled in time,” the officials said.
The SIA said the chargesheet is based on recoveries, digital forensic evidence, scientific analysis and witness statements establishing the role of each accused.
Those named in the chargesheet include Arif Nisar Dar alias Sahil, Yasir-ul-Ashraf Bhat, Maqsood Ahmad Dar alias Shahid, Irfan Ahmad Wagay alias Owais, Zameer Ahmad Ahanger alias Mutlashi, Dr Muzamil Shakeel Ganaie alias Musaib, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather alias Javaid, Dr Shaheen Saeed, Tufail Ahmad Bhat and Dr Umar Un Nabi of Pulwama, who was killed in the Red Fort suicide attack, officials said.
The chargesheet has been filed before a competent court, and further investigation in the case is ongoing.(NVI)
