The Hidden Terror: Unveiling 'Ansar Interim' and Its Plot

A 'white-collar' terror module, the 'Ansar Interim,' comprising radicalized doctors, was uncovered by Jammu and Kashmir Police. They planned attacks using improvised explosives. The module involved radicalized doctors and religious figures across multiple states, with plans disrupted by police intervention, revealing their inter-state network and thwarting potential attacks.

Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir have dismantled a clandestine terror cell, 'Ansar Interim,' allegedly organized by radicalized medical professionals. The revelation follows arrests that have unraveled a plot involving improvised explosive devices intended for attacks, police say. A probe by the National Investigation Agency is ongoing.

Among the accused, Dr. Umer-un Nabi, now deceased, reportedly led the cell's operations, including planning a major attack outside the Red Fort. Efforts to link up with other terrorist organizations were thwarted, compelling the group to form their own cell to perpetrate subversive activities across Indian states.

The elaborate network spanned multiple regions, with procurement of explosive materials from Haryana, and the recruitment efforts stretching to include a broader militant network. Police detected this network after discovering incriminating materials in Srinagar, leading to several arrests and exposing their detailed plans.
