Arrest and other developments in the Ammonium Nitrate seizure
The investigation later reached Al Falah University in Faridabad. There, the police arrested doctors Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie and Shaheen Sayeed and recovered chemicals like ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur. According to investigators, the group was allegedly being run by three doctors — Ganaie, Umar Nabi (who has links to the Red Fort blast vehicle), and Muzzaffar Rather, who is currently missing. The police are also checking the role of Dr Adeel Rather, from whom an AK-56 rifle was found.
