Faridabad (Haryana) [India], November 11 : Faridabad Police questioned students, the principal, and faculty members working with Dr Muzammil at Haryana's Al Falah University on Tuesday. Faridabad Police has detained six people and is interrogating them regarding the terror module after Dr Muzammil was arrested on Monday morning in connection with running an alleged terror module in Faridabad.
The arrested accused was a physician at the Al-Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana.
Faridabad police said, "Faridabad Police questioned students, the principal and faculty members working with Dr Muzammil at Al Falah University. More than 52 people were questioned. Faridabad Police has detained six people and is interrogating them regarding the terror module."
In a major breakthrough on Monday, the Jammu and Kashmir Police, in coordination with the Haryana Police, recovered 360 kg of suspected ammonium nitrate and 2,900 kg of IED-making materials, including chemicals, detonators, and wires, from an apartment in Faridabad. Dr Muzammil and Aadil Rather were arrested in this case.
According to sources, officials suspect the Delhi blast and the Faridabad recovery may be part of a larger terror network operating across state lines.
The mother of Muzammil Shakeel, the doctor from Pulwama who has been arrested in the Faridabad arms haul case, on Tuesday denied allegations against her son and said that the family was not being allowed to meet him.
Naseema, Shekeel's mother, told ANI that she wants her son to be released.
"He left home about four years ago. He was working as a doctor in Delhi. We had no information about him during this time. When he was arrested, we learned about it from others. We tried to meet him, but the police did not allow us. Even my other son has been arrested. They are saying my son is a suspect in the Delhi blast. I know nothing about this. I just want both of my sons to be released," Naseema said.
Azad Shakeel, brother of Muzammil, argued that his brother had been working as a doctor for the last three years and expressed concern over not being allowed to meet him.
"Allegations are being put on him that some material has been recovered from him. He has been a doctor for the last 3 years in Delhi. We are not being allowed to meet him. He used to come home twice every year. He is unmarried," Azad told ANI.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police recovered about 360 kgs of inflammable material and ammunition from Haryana's Faridabad and nabbed two accused, Dr Muzammil and Adil Rather. Adil Ahmed Rather was arrested in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur.
