The Jammu and Kashmir Police’s special cell, the State Investigation Agency (SIA), on Thursday (April 16, 2026) filed a chargesheet against 10 accused who were part of the “doctors’ terror module” in Srinagar.

According to the police, among the 10 accused were five doctors, including Umar Un Nabi, a resident of Pulwama’s Koil, who was killed in the Red Fort suicide attack on November 10 last year. The arrested also include a doctor, Shaheen Saeed, from Lalbagh, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.

“A substantial body of evidence has been collected, clearly establishing a strong prima facie case against the accused. The accused persons formed a highly clandestine module, actively engaged in radicalisation, recruitment, and operational preparations for carrying out terrorist attacks across the country,” the police said.

The investigation revealed that the group had identified Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), a highly sensitive and volatile explosive used in several global terror incidents.

“The scale of accumulation of explosive substances and precursor materials by the module has sent shockwaves across security and investigative agencies nationwide, underscoring the seriousness of intent, level of preparedness, and the potentially catastrophic consequences had the conspiracy not been timely detected and neutralised,” the police said.

A spree of arrests were made last year by the Nowgam police station in Srinagar following provocative and threatening posters pasted in the Nowgam area in the name of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) on October 19, 2025.

Larger conspiracy

“A meticulous and sustained investigation has revealed that the poster campaign was not an isolated act, but part of a larger, well-orchestrated terrorist conspiracy aimed at reviving the banned terrorist outfit Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH),” the police said.  

The police said the accused deliberately used the name of JeM to exploit its notoriety and create psychological impact, while covertly advancing the re-establishment and operational build-up of AGuH, reflecting a calculated attempt to mislead security agencies and conceal their true objectives.

“The module included highly educated individuals, including medical professionals, who misused their knowledge, access, and institutional spaces for unlawful activities,” the police said.

The accused were actively disseminating extremist propaganda through digital platforms and had undertaken procurement of materials and experimental activities related to explosive fabrication, including within residential premises and facilities linked to Al-Falah Medical College/University, the police said.

The SIA successfully dismantled the entire terrorist network and its support structure, the police said.

“The investigation has unearthed clinching and irrefutable evidence, comprising recoveries, digital forensics, scientific analysis, and corroborative witness accounts, which firmly establishes the complicity, active participation, and coordinated roles of each accused in the conspiracy. The material brought on record exposes the depth and spread of the module,” the police said.
