Delhi Blast
Delhi blast probe: Jammu and Kashmir man linked to 'white collar' terror module arrested in major breakthrough
Srinagar/IBNS: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) and the Special Operations Group of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday arrested a man from the valley in connection with the 'white collar' terror module linked to the deadly Delhi blast which occurred earlier this month, media reports said.
Tufail Ahmed, a native of Srinagar, was working as an electrician in Pulwama.
Though his involvement in the blast that killed at least 15 people is not clear, Ahmed did play a role in the entire conspiracy.
The driver of the car, Dr Umar Mohammad, died in the blast which occurred near the Red Fort Metro Station.
The Al-Falah University in Faridabad has come under intense scrutiny following the arrest of several of its faculty linked to the suicide bombing.
Police have since arrested nine others, including three doctors from Al-Falah Medical College. The bomber was associated with the institution.
Al-Falah University founder Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case connected to alleged terror financing.
He was taken into custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The ED’s action comes days after two FIRs were filed by the Delhi Police Crime Branch against the university, involving accusations of cheating and forgery related to accreditation documents.
The agency noted that the Al Falah Group had expanded rapidly since the 1990s but claimed that this rise was not supported by legitimate financial records.
Evidence recovered during searches, the ED said, indicates a broader pattern of generating and laundering proceeds of crime.
These developments come as authorities continue dismantling what they describe as a “white-collar terror module” with alleged ties to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind.
The investigation has so far led to the seizure of nearly 2,900 kg of explosive material from rented rooms in Faridabad and the arrest or detention of several individuals, including medical professionals associated with the university and a cleric from a local mosque.
