Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that after discovering that doctors from Pulwama were allegedly involved in the “white-collar” inter-state terror module, the Jammu and Kashmir Police, along with intelligence agencies, detained three doctors for questioning to find out any possible links with those suspected in the Red Fort car blast case.
Two doctors have been picked up for questioning as they are said to be friends of the doctor who drove the Hyundai i20 that exploded near Delhi’s Red Fort on Monday, killing eight people, a toll that has now risen to 13 and injuring several others. Another doctor from Pulwama, who allegedly knew the accused and worked at a Delhi hospital, was also detained from his home in south Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research in Haryana's Faridabad, which recently came under media spotlight after two of its faculty members were detained in connection with the Faridabad terror module case, has issued a statement clarifying that it has no connection with the accused doctors apart from their official employment at the university.
