Faridabad (Haryana): The police on Monday arrested a Kashmiri doctor and seized around 360 kg of explosives, suspected to be ammonium nitrate, from his rented accommodation here. A large cache of arms and ammunition was also recovered during the joint operation conducted by the Faridabad Police and the Jammu and Kashmir Police.

The accused, identified as Dr Muzammil Shakeel, is employed as a teacher at Al-Falah University.

Al-Falah University, located in Haryana’s Dhouj—around 45 km from Delhi—is a privately run institution recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC).

Faridabad Police Commissioner Satender Kumar Gupta said that the joint team arrested the doctor, who was also wanted in connection with putting up posters supporting the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed in Srinagar.

During the operation, police recovered around 360 kg of explosives suspected to be ammonium nitrate, one carbine (possibly misreported as “Carom Cok” rifle), two automatic pistols, 84 cartridges, five litres of chemicals, 20 battery-powered timers, and 14 bags from his room, officials said.
