Probe at Lucknow Residence of Detained Doctor
In Lucknow, a combined team of the Anti-Terrorist Squad, local police, and central investigation units searched the Muttaqipur residence of Dr Shaheen Shahid who had earlier been arrested in relation to the Delhi explosion case. Officials collected documents and questioned her relatives and neighbors to understand her background. Her father Syed Ahmad Ansari expressed disbelief over her alleged involvement stating that his daughter had completed her medical studies in Allahabad now Prayagraj and had no known association with extremist groups.

Authorities believe Dr Shaheen may have had connections with Dr Muzammil from whom a large cache of explosives was seized earlier in Faridabad.
Muzammil was already wanted by Jammu and Kashmir Police in a separate case involving online posts supporting the banned militant group Jaish e Mohammed.
Family in Lakhimpur Kheri Claims Innocence of Detained Youth
In Lakhimpur Kheri, the family of Mohammad Suhail who was detained by Gujarat ATS from Banaskantha district on suspicion of terror activities claimed he had been wrongfully implicated. Suhail lived in Singahi town with his parents and siblings and had been pursuing religious education at a madrassa in Muzaffarnagar for the last three years. His mother said he was a calm and disciplined student who had never engaged in any unlawful behavior. She added that he last visited home during Bakrid in June and later informed his sister that he was on vacation in Gujarat.
The family’s modest house has been under police watch since his detention though authorities confirmed that no criminal record of Suhail exists in the district. His father and younger brother both work as mechanics.
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.
Statewide Security on High Alert
Following the explosion in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh Police have increased security across the state conducting intensive checks in busy areas such as markets, metro stations, shopping centers, railway stations, and bus terminals. Bomb disposal squads and dog units have been deployed at sensitive locations to prevent further incidents.
A senior police officer stated that continuous patrolling has been ordered in all major districts and the state remains on high alert until further notice. The enhanced vigilance covers cities including Lucknow, Noida, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Mathura Vrindavan, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Saharanpur, and Aligarh.
Among the twelve victims of the Delhi blast, four individuals identified so far were residents of Uttar Pradesh—Ashok Kumar from Amroha, Nauman Ansari from Shamli, Mohsin from Meerut, and Dinesh Mishra from Shravasti—while another victim, Shiva Jaiswal from Deoria, is undergoing treatment for injuries.
