Red Fort Blast Shock: Two Medical Experts Under Terror Suspicion

New Delhi:  New Delhi has been rattled by a stunning development in the Red Fort blast investigation as two doctors, Dr. Junaid Yusuf and Dr. Nasir Rashid, were taken into custody for alleged terror links. According to preliminary reports, both had long-term associations with Al-Falah Medical College. The suspicion that healthcare professionals may have supported extremist networks has sent shockwaves through the investigation. Officials believe this may not be an isolated incident but could point toward deeper and coordinated radical planning.

Why Is The College Back Under Scrutiny?

Authorities have recalled that this is not the first time the institution has come under the scanner. Earlier, the names of four doctors associated with the same college surfaced in terror-related inquiries. This repetitive pattern has triggered a broader examination of how radical elements may be penetrating educational spaces. Intelligence teams are working on whether the institution was deliberately targeted by extremists for recruiting highly skilled professionals.

New Twist In Blast Network Investigation

Interrogation sources reveal that both doctors are suspected to have played either supportive or logistical roles in the planning or communication phase of the Red Fort blast. Investigators suspect that they may have served as intermediaries between local operatives and external handlers. While the direct involvement is still being verified, initial evidence points towards existing channels of communication within the suspected terror network.

What Are Investigators Uncovering?

During questioning, the suspects allegedly provided inconsistent responses, leading officials to intensify the probe. Forensic analysis of their digital devices reportedly uncovered interactions with accounts flagged for suspicious activity. Investigators are now tracking encrypted messages and financial records to determine if there were any direct transactions linked to extremist operations. Authorities are also evaluating access logs and movements recorded within the college premises.

Connection To Historic Terror Case?

The investigation references an old case involving Mirza Shadab Beg, a B.Tech graduate charged with executing serial bombings across multiple Indian cities including Ahmedabad and Jaipur. Beg’s case had previously placed Al-Falah Medical College under federal surveillance. The fresh detentions have reignited security concerns, raising questions about whether dormant extremist strategies may have been revived using academic cover.

Is National Security At Greater Risk?

Agencies now fear that well-educated individuals are being strategically exploited by extremist groups to bypass traditional security filters. If proven, this development could signal a worrying shift in terror methodology, where professional expertise is used to strengthen covert operations. Sources indicate that broader verification of medical professionals associated with the college may soon be initiated.

What Happens Next In The Probe?

Officials predict multiple arrests in the coming days as the investigation expands to identify further associates. Intelligence teams are mapping national connections of both detained doctors and checking for possible international coordination. Authorities are also considering enforcing advanced background screening mechanisms within educational institutions to prevent infiltration attempts.
