The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has intensified its investigation into the Delhi blast conspiracy, uncovering alarming details about a suspected Jaish-e-Mohammad–linked medical module operating out of Faridabad.
New leads have brought the probe to Lucknow, prompting swift action by the agencies.
According to sources, the ATS has detained two siblings from the Para area of Lucknow after keeping them under surveillance for three days.
The operation was carried out on Sunday when ATS teams arrived in a Scorpio vehicle at Kundan Vihar and picked up the two for questioning in connection with the blast case.
Simultaneously, the ATS conducted a major search operation at a hotel in Charbagh, where several of Dr Shaheen’s close associates had allegedly stayed prior to the arrests.
Investigators have seized CCTV footage and questioned hotel staff to determine how long the individuals stayed, whether they used genuine or forged identity documents, and who facilitated their visit. Preliminary information suggests that Dr. Shaheen herself arranged their accommodation.
ATS officials are also examining the fact that Shaheen listed Parvez’s residence as her permanent address in official documents. Her recent travel history, particularly a trip to Thailand, has raised additional suspicions.
She reportedly met Parvez two months ago in Lucknow, after which both traveled to Kanpur. Notably, she did not visit her children during this time, a detail that has drawn further attention from investigators.
The probe into Parvez’s background has also intensified. His unusual work pattern—performing continuous night shifts during his early tenure at Integral University—has raised concerns that he may have been involved in activities during the daytime that escaped scrutiny.
Electronic devices recovered from his home, including a mobile phone and hard drives, are being analyzed with the assistance of central agencies. Investigators have also learned that Parvez lived in the Maldives for three years, where he is suspected to have come into contact with radical elements.
In a related development, the ATS has recovered a diary belonging to Dr. Muzammil, revealing details of an alleged plan titled Operation Hamdard, which purportedly involved preparing young Muslim women for targeted attacks. Shaheen was reportedly assigned a role in this operation. The suspected network, comprising 25–30 individuals, is believed to have links to Jammu & Kashmir and Faridabad.
On Sunday, Uttar Pradesh Police also visited Al-Falah University in Faridabad, where Dr. Muzammil was employed, to gather further intelligence on the expanding network.
As the investigation progresses, multiple layers of the alleged secret module involving medical professionals are emerging, deepening concerns among national security agencies.
