The white collar terror module and the Delhi blast
On Monday, authorities busted a "white collar terror module" with links to terrorist outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind and spanned across Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. They seized 2,900 kilograms of explosive substances and arrested eight people, including three doctors linked to Al Falah University in Faridabad.
Police teams visited the Al-Falah University and the residence of Dr Muzammil Ganaie, one of the prime suspects arrested in the case, on Wednesday. They questioned several doctors and students at the university.
