Investigations Continue in Saharanpur Over Suspected Links
In Saharanpur, investigators are examining the background of another accused, Dr Adil Ahmad, who was arrested on November 7 by Jammu and Kashmir Police with the support of local authorities. Adil, originally from Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir, had been staying in Bapu Vihar Colony on Ambala Road while working at Famous Hospital for the past six months. Locals described him as quiet and private though his home often saw late night visitors and vehicles parked outside.
He had previously worked at another private hospital in the city where the management stated he had always been polite and dedicated to his patients showing no signs of suspicious behavior. The case against Adil emerged after posters supporting Jaish e Mohammed appeared in parts of Srinagar and CCTV footage allegedly captured him putting them up. Following electronic surveillance, his location was traced to Saharanpur where he was taken into custody from the hospital and handed over to Srinagar Police. The hospital has since removed his name from its records.
Joint teams from Jammu and Kashmir Police, Uttar Pradesh ATS, and central agencies are continuing inquiries in Saharanpur to identify any associates or local links that could connect Adil with others involved in the Delhi blast.
