SIA files chargesheet in Doctors Terror Module case
The State Investigation Agency (SIA), Kashmir, on Thursday filed a chargesheet before the competent court in a significant terror conspiracy case linked to the clandestine “Doctors Terror Module”.
The charge sheet has been filed against ten (10) accused persons in connection with an FIR registered at Police Station Nowgam, Srinagar.
Those chargesheeted include Arif Nisar Dar, Yasir Ul Ashraf Bhat, Maqsood Ahmad Dar, Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Zameer Ahmad Ahanger, Dr Muzamil Shakeel Ganaie, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Shaheen Saeed, Tufail Ahmad Bhat, Dr Umar Un Nabi.
According to a statement issued by the State Investigation Agency, through a comprehensive, evidence-driven investigation, SIA has successfully dismantled the entire terrorist network and its support structure. The investigation has unearthed clinching and irrefutable evidence, comprising recoveries, digital forensics, scientific analysis, and corroborative witness accounts, which firmly establish the complicity, active participation, and coordinated roles of each accused in the conspiracy.
The SIA spokesman said, “The material brought on record not only exposes the depth and spread of the module. A substantial body of evidence has thus been collected, clearly establishing a strong prima facie case against the accused”.
Significantly, the module included highly educated individuals, including medical professionals, who misused their knowledge, access, and institutional spaces for unlawful activities. The accused were actively disseminating extremist propaganda through digital platforms and had undertaken procurement of materials and experimental activities related to explosive fabrication, including within residential premises and facilities linked to Al-Falah Medical College/University.
According to SIA, on October 19, 2025, provocative and threatening posters were pasted in the Nowgam area in the name of the proscribed terrorist outfit Jaish-e- Mohammad (JeM). The posters were aimed at spreading fear among the public, disturbing public order, and directly challenging the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.
According to the statement issued by SIA, a meticulous and sustained investigation further revealed that the poster campaign was not an isolated act, but part of a larger, well-orchestrated terrorist conspiracy aimed at reviving the banned terrorist outfit Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH). The accused persons had formed a highly clandestine module, actively engaged in radicalisation, recruitment, and operational preparations for carrying out terrorist attacks across the country.
The investigation further established that the accused deliberately used the name of JeM to exploit its notoriety and create psychological impact, while covertly advancing the re-establishment and operational build-up of AGuH, reflecting a calculated attempt to mislead security agencies and conceal their true objectives.
The investigation has revealed that the group had identified Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP) — a highly sensitive and volatile explosive used in several global terror incidents — as a preferred material due to the relative ease of sourcing its precursor components. The scale of accumulation of explosive substances and precursor materials by the module has sent shockwaves across security and investigative agencies nationwide, underscoring the seriousness of intent, level of preparedness, and the potentially catastrophic consequences had the conspiracy not been timely detected and neutralised.
