New Delhi: Investigators probing the recent car blast near the Red Fort are uncovering new and disturbing details about how a group of professionals allegedly helped build a network that supplied weapons and materials for explosives. Officials say the group included doctors from Lucknow who played key roles in raising money and purchasing equipment.

According to investigation reports, Dr Muzammil, Dr Shaheen and Dr Adeel, along with a man identified as Amir, were part of a module linked to a larger network operating across several states.

Officers say Dr Muzammil bought a Russian assault rifle for about five lakh rupees after receiving contact details from Dr Shaheen. The weapon was later recovered from a locker belonging to Dr Adeel.

Officials also revealed that the group purchased a deep freezer to store temperature sensitive chemical materials needed to make improvised explosive devices. Investigators believe the freezer was used to keep certain substances stable while the group worked on preparing the devices.

The team had reportedly raised around twenty six lakh rupees to buy weapons, chemicals and electronic components. Much of the fundraising was coordinated by Dr Shaheen.

Investigators say the group sourced materials and equipment from different markets in Delhi, Faridabad and other locations, using both online manuals and guidance from handlers based outside India.

The blast near the Red Fort on November ten had caused multiple fatalities and significant damage. Following the incident, security agencies carried out searches in several states, which led to the arrest of the doctors and the seizure of weapons, chemicals and electronic parts. Officers say the network appeared to have been planning more attacks and was storing explosive materials at multiple locations.

Investigators are now working to trace the full chain of communication, including contacts abroad who may have guided the group. They are also examining the money trail to understand how the funds were collected and moved.

Authorities say the case highlights the growing challenge of tracking small but highly organised groups that operate across different states using everyday professions as cover. The investigation is continuing, and officials are expected to release more details as questioning progresses.
