J&K Police seek Interpol notice against Qaizgund-based doctor

Jammu and Kashmir Police have approached Interpol to issue a Red Corner Notice against Qazigund-based Dr Muzaffar in connection with the interstate ‘white-collar’ terror module busted earlier this week, officials said on Thursday.

Muzaffar is the brother of Dr Adeel, one of eight people, including three doctors, arrested in the case linked to the Red Fort blast. Of the eight arrested, seven are from Kashmir.

Officials said Muzaffar’s name surfaced during the interrogation of those arrested. He was part of a group of doctors who visited Turkiye in 2021 along with Muzammil Ganaie and Umar Nabi, the latter having driven the explosives-laden car that detonated near the Red Fort on Monday, killing 13 people.

Police said they attempted to trace Muzaffar but found that he had left India for Dubai in August. He is currently believed to be in Afghanistan. The three doctors reportedly spent 21 days in Turkiye.
