Unmasking the White-Collar Terrorist: Dr Umar-un Nabi's Stealthy Recruitment Plot

Investigations revealed Dr Umar-un Nabi's covert terror module orchestrating a bombing near Red Fort. Despite efforts, recruitment attempts for suicide bombers faltered due to personal obligations. His strategic network, with links across India and radicalization tactics, was dismantled, unveiling a larger interstate terror scheme.

In a chilling revelation, authorities have uncovered a clandestine terror module led by Dr Umar-un Nabi following a car bombing near Red Fort. The investigation, conducted by Srinagar Police and the National Investigation Agency, unveils a web of attempted recruitment of suicide bombers by the doctor-turned-terrorist.

Key revelations include the radicalization strategy employed by Nabi, who utilized his professional stature to persuade recruits. His efforts included Yasir Ahmed Dar, a Shopian resident, who nearly joined the plot but withdrew, citing familial duties and apple harvest work. Other arrests uncovered further details of his network.

The investigation reveals an expansive interstate terror network associated with JeM, extending across Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Nabi's plans for a significant attack using a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device were thwarted by meticulous police work that traced back to a failed bombing attempt, exposing the full extent of his operations.
