Arrested J&K Doctor’s Tip-Off Helps Police Recover 300 kg of RDX Near Delhi

New Delhi | November 10, 2025 In one of the biggest anti-terror operations in recent years, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have recovered a massive cache of explosives and weapons, including 300 kilograms of RDX, an AK-47 rifle, and a large quantity of ammunition, from Faridabad in Haryana, just outside Delhi. The breakthrough came following the interrogation of an arrested doctor from Jammu and Kashmir, who provided crucial information leading to the discovery. Officials said the raid was conducted at Al Falah Hospital in Faridabad, based on inputs from Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, who was earlier taken into custody in connection with a terror-related case. During questioning, Rather revealed details of an arms and explosives stockpile kept outside Jammu and Kashmir. Prior to this, police had already recovered an AK-47 and ammunition from a locker belonging to him in the Valley. Investigations have also pointed to the involvement of another doctor, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel from Koil in Pulwama district, who is believed to have helped store the explosives and weapons at the Faridabad location. Both doctors are currently in police custody and are being interrogated further. According to senior officials, the case marks one of the largest seizures of RDX linked to terror networks in recent years. The discovery has raised serious concerns about the growing use of civilian networks, including medical professionals, for logistical support to militant organizations. Security agencies suspect the involvement of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ghazwat-ul-Hind, two Pakistan-based terror groups known for their active operations in Jammu and Kashmir. Several other doctors and associates are now under the scanner, as investigators work to uncover the wider network responsible for smuggling and storing arms and explosives outside the Union Territory. The accused have been charged under the Arms Act (Sections 7/25) and multiple provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), including Sections 13, 28, 38, and 39, for their roles in aiding and abetting terror-related activities. Meanwhile, a large-scale anti-terror operation continues across Jammu and Kashmir. Over the weekend, security forces detained nine individuals, including a woman, during raids in various parts of the Valley. The coordinated searches extended to Ramban, Doda, Kathua, Reasi, Rajouri, Poonch, and Kishtwar districts. Sources say the crackdown follows intelligence inputs suggesting that terrorists active in the higher reaches are attempting to move into the plains to find safe winter shelters. Authorities have stepped up surveillance and cordon operations across sensitive areas to prevent the regrouping of militants. Officials have described the Faridabad recovery as a major success that potentially averted a large-scale terror attack. The investigation continues as agencies work to trace the origins of the explosives, the intended targets, and the full extent of the terror network’s presence outside Jammu and Kashmir.
