Srinagar: Medical professionals in the Kashmir Valley have condemned the Delhi car blast. They stated that they were shocked to see qualified individuals involved in such an incident. They demanded strict action against the perpetrators. On November 10, 2025, at around 6:50 pm, a car exploded near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi, killing approximately 15 people and injuring more than 20.
Dr. Umar Un Nabi, a Kashmiri doctor, was driving the car that exploded near the Red Fort in Delhi. Doctors’ organizations in the Valley have expressed concern over the alleged involvement of members of the medical profession in this inhumane act. This is the first time these groups have issued a public statement on the issue since the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A.
The Medical Faculty Association (MFA) of government medical and dental colleges stated that “such a betrayal of the sacred trust placed in doctors—who are dedicated to compassion and the service of life—is shameful and unacceptable.”
On behalf of the medical fraternity, the MFA wishes to state that violence committed by any member of the medical fraternity will not be tolerated, as it brings the profession into disrepute. MFA President Sajjad Khanday said in a statement that the MFA expresses deep sorrow and solidarity with the victims who lost their lives and those injured in this incident.
The Society of Consultant Doctors, headed by Dr. Owais H. Dar, expressed deep sorrow over the deaths of innocent people. Dar said in a statement, “The alleged involvement of individuals associated with the medical profession is deeply disturbing and, if proven, represents a grave betrayal of the values ​​and ethics of medicine. The Society has full faith in the justice system and demands strict action against those found guilty, in accordance with the law.”
The Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) stated that it has full faith in the justice system and appeals to the authorities to ensure that those found guilty are held fully accountable under the law. DAK reiterated its commitment to peace, humanity, and national unity.
In a statement, it said, “We urge people to remain calm, vigilant, and united against all forms of violence and extremism. Doctors have always prioritized humanity, compassion, and service, and we will continue to uphold these values ​​under all circumstances. Such acts of violence will not weaken our resolve to heal, protect, and serve our society and nation.”
The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) expressed deep sorrow over the loss of innocent lives in the Delhi blasts. Nasir Khuehami, the association’s national convener, said, “Kashmiri students believe in India’s democracy and mainstream values. They reject all forms of terrorism. Yet, authorities and local people are maligning them. Many landlords have asked Kashmiri tenants to vacate their rooms, forcing many students to return home out of fear.”
What has happened in the investigation so far:
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two doctors from Kashmir, Dr. Muzammil Shakeel Ganai and Dr. Adeel Majeed Rather, and a doctor from Uttar Pradesh, Dr. Shahid Shahid. While the Jammu and Kashmir Police has issued a Red Corner Notice for Dr. Muzaffar Rather, who is reportedly absconding.
On November 10, the Jammu and Kashmir Police busted an interstate and transnational terror module. Police said they had arrested seven people, including Dr. Muzammil and Dr. Adeel, for pasting threatening posters in the Nowgam area of ​​Srinagar. That same evening, Dr. Umar Un Nabi detonated a bomb in his car near the Red Fort in Delhi.
A multi-agency investigation into the blast and terror module has led to the arrest and questioning of several doctors who worked with or were in contact with Dr. Muzammil, Dr. Umar, and Dr. Adeel at GMC Srinagar and other colleges.
The NIA has taken over the investigation and arrested three doctors: Jasir Bilal Wani of Kulgam and Aamir Rashid Mir of Sambur, Pulwama, while the Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Special Investigation Team (SIA) arrested Tufail Niaz Bhat, an electrician from Batmaloo, Srinagar.
