Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather, a 31-year-old postgraduate specialist in internal medicine from Qazigund in Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir, has emerged as the central figure in the terror module linked to the November 10 Red Fort blast.
A former senior resident at Government Medical College (GMC) Anantnag, Rather completed his MBBS and MD before joining the college's internal medicine department, where colleagues described him as diligent but withdrawn.
In March 2025, he moved to Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, first joining V-Bros Hospital and later Famous Medicare, where police records show he earned about ₹5 lakh a month and treated up to 50 patients daily. He lived in a rented two-bedroom house in Bapu Bihar Colony, keeping to himself except for the occasional late-night visitor, neighbours told police, according to investigators.
