New Delhi: The case has taken a new direction after investigators traced a women-led structure linked to the banned group Jaish-e-Mohammad. The woman at the center of this network is Dr Shaheen, arrested from Faridabad. She was not seen as someone involved in anything beyond her routine profession. But officials now believe she was guiding women towards ideological training. Her task included identifying women who could be influenced quietly. This responsibility was given to her in a planned manner. Investigators say the network was being built for long-term use.
According to agencies, she was working with a group called Jamaat-ul-Momineen, the women’s wing of Jaish. The aim of this wing is to spread ideology among women and create support circles. These circles are small and remain hidden in daily life. They do not work like large cells but through personal contact. Messages and discussions happen in private chats, not public platforms. This slow and silent setup makes the structure hard to detect. It moves forward step-by-step without drawing attention.
Intelligence sources say the assignment came from across the border. The one believed to have handed her the mission is Sadia Azhar, sister of Masood Azhar. Sadia is known to run the women recruitment section of the organization. Her husband has been linked to major terror cases in the past. Instructions reportedly reached Dr Shaheen through secure communication channels. These were given in coded forms to avoid tracking. This makes the case extremely sensitive in terms of national security.
The recruitment did not happen through large meetings or public gatherings. It started with personal conversations and emotional communication online. Women were approached slowly and their trust was built over time. They were made to feel that they were joining something meaningful and respectful. This created involvement without pressure. Once the trust was strong, further ideological influence began. The process was designed to look normal and personal, not suspicious.
The method of spreading the network depended heavily on social connections. Women who had accepted the ideology were encouraged to talk to others. Because these were private discussions, it stayed away from public eyes. Local supporters played a role by helping in small tasks. Even a small group can grow if no one notices the early signs. That is why the network remained hidden until the recent investigation. Agencies now believe the expansion had already started at ground level.
The blast near Red Fort became the turning point. Digital traces from communication data revealed a pattern of contacts. These contacts were not ordinary and did not match routine professional interactions. The chain eventually led to the Faridabad location. Devices seized during the arrest had details of discussions and contact points. Security agencies are still analyzing deeper layers of communication. They believe more names may appear as decoding continues.
The family of Dr Shaheen is shocked and unable to accept the allegations. They say she lived a normal and quiet life focused on patients. Neighbours are still trying to understand how this situation developed. Meanwhile, agencies are continuing the investigation on priority. The focus now is to identify every individual linked to the network. The case shows how women are being used to build influence quietly. Authorities are keeping close watch to prevent similar networks from taking shape again.
