SIA files chargesheet against 10in ‘white collar’ terror module case

SRINAGAR: The State Investigation Agency (SIA), Kashmir on Thursday filed its charge sheet in a significant terrorist conspiracy case involving a covert module commonly referred to as the “Doctors Terror Module.”

The charge sheet has been filed against ten (10) accused persons in connection with an FIR registered at Police Station Nowgam, Srinagar.

The case dates back to an incident on October 10, 2025, wherein provocative and threatening posters were pasted in the Nowgam area in the name of the proscribed terrorist outfit Jaish-e- Mohammad (JeM), SIA said in the statement.

The accused persons charge-sheeted in the case are Arif Nisar Dar, Yasir Ul Ashraf Bhat, Maqsood Ahmad Dar, Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Zameer Ahmad Ahanger, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel Ganaie, Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr. Shaheen Saeed, Tufail Ahmad Bhat, R/o Diarwani and Dr. Umar Un Nabi (killed in Red Fort suicide attack).

As per the statement released, the posters were aimed at spreading fear among the public, disturbing public order, and directly challenging the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India. A meticulous and sustained investigation by has revealed that the poster campaign was not an isolated act, but part of a larger, well-orchestrated terrorist conspiracy aimed at reviving the banned terrorist outfit Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH).

The accused persons had formed a highly clandestine module, actively engaged in radicalisation, recruitment, and operational preparations for carrying out terrorist attacks across the country, SIA said.

The investigation further established that the accused deliberately used the name of JeM to exploit its notoriety and create psychological impact, while covertly advancing the re- establishment and operational build-up of AGuH, reflecting a calculated attempt to mislead security agencies and conceal their true objectives, SIA further said.

Significantly, the module included highly educated individuals, including medical professionals, who misused their knowledge, access, and institutional spaces for unlawful activities. The accused were actively disseminating extremist propaganda through digital platforms and had undertaken procurement of materials and experimental activities related to explosive fabrication, including within residential premises and facilities linked to Al-Falah Medical College/University, SIA said in the statement.

The investigation has revealed that the group had identified Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP)-a highly sensitive and volatile explosive used in several global terror incidents; as a preferred material due to the relative ease of sourcing its precursor components.

The scale of accumulation of explosive substances and precursor materials by the module has sent shockwaves across security and investigative agencies nationwide, underscoring the seriousness of intent, level of preparedness, and the potentially catastrophic consequences had the conspiracy not been timely detected and neutralised.

Through a comprehensive, evidence-driven investigation, SIA has successfully dismantled the entire terrorist network and its support structure. The investigation has unearthed clinching and irrefutable evidence; comprising recoveries, digital forensics, scientific analysis, and corroborative witness accounts, which firmly establishes the complicity, active participation, and coordinated roles of each accused in the conspiracy.

The material brought on record not only exposes the depth and spread of the module.

A substantial body of evidence has thus been collected, clearly establishing a strong prima facie case against the accused. The charge sheet has been filed before the competent court of law. The SIA reiterates its unwavering commitment to dismantling terrorist ecosystems, neutralising radical networks, and safeguarding national security.

This case highlights the evolving and sophisticated nature of terror conspiracies, including the misuse of professional institutions and digital platforms, and reinforces the need for sustained vigilance and coordinated counter-terror efforts. Further investigation is in progress.
