On Friday, two doctors hailing from Haryana's Nuh district were detained for questioning in connection with the case.
One of the doctors did his apprenticeship at Al Falah University after completing his MBBS course. His apprenticeship ended on November 2. The other doctor was a former student of the university and was currently working with a private hospital in Nuh, police sources said.
Medical Dialogues recently reported that the death toll from the deadly car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort has risen to 13 after another victim, who was battling severe burn injuries, passed away on Thursday.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), leading the probe, has now uncovered links between the main accused doctor and a Turkiye-based handler codenamed “Ukasa.”
On Monday, agencies busted a "white collar terror module" with links to terrorist outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind and spread across Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. They seized 2,900 kilograms of explosive substances and arrested eight people, including three doctors linked to Al Falah University.
Hours later, 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 the accused, an assistant professor at the university, was driving the exploded car.
Apart from the eight people, the agencies have detained several others also 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 activities related to the terror conspiracy, sources said.
