The Jammu and Kashmir police’s State Investigation Agency (SIA) filed charges against 10 individuals implicated in a “white collar” terror module case on Thursday. Among the accused is Umar Un Nabi, who was killed in the Red Fort explosion last November.
The other nine individuals charged include Arif Nisar Dar, Yasir Ul Ashraf Bhat, Maqsood Ahmad Dar of Nowgam, Irfan Ahmad Wagay from Shopian, Zameer Ahmad Ahanger of Ganderbal, Muzamil Shakeel Ganaie of Pulwama, Adeel Ahmad Rather from Kulgam, Shaheen Saeed of Lucknow, and Tufail Ahmad Bhat of Batmaloo. All were booked at the Nowgam police station in Srinagar.
According to the SIA, this case underscores the increasingly sophisticated nature of terror conspiracies, particularly the exploitation of professional institutions and digital platforms. The agency reported that provocative posters were found in Nowgam on October 19, 2025, intended to instill fear in the community, disrupt public order, and directly challenge India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. This activity forms part of a broader and coordinated terrorist strategy to revive the banned group Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind.
The accused operated a highly secretive module that engaged in radicalization, recruitment, and preparations for potential terrorist attacks across the nation. They disseminated extremist propaganda via digital channels and attempted to acquire materials and conduct experiments related to explosive fabrication, including within residential spaces and at facilities associated with Al-Falah University.
The SIA announced that a comprehensive, evidence-driven investigation has effectively dismantled the entire terrorist network and its support structure. It claimed that the investigation revealed substantial and credible evidence, including recoveries, digital forensics, scientific analyses, and corroborative witness testimonies, confirming the involvement, active participation, and coordinated roles of all accused in the conspiracy.
