‘She simply walked away’: Ex-husband of arrested doctor

What makes a woman, a mother of two, walk out of a marriage of 12 years, and not stay in touch? And what makes a doctor, deeply interested in her science, and who never discussed politics or religion, turn into a radical? These are questions investigators, and those who knew Dr Shaheen Shahid are asking themselves.

Shahid was arrested in Lucknow on November 10, and believed to be part of a Pulwama-Faridabad module of terror operatives; the same day, a car driven by another doctor who was later revealed to be part of the same module blew up near Delhi’s Red Fort, killing 10 people, including the driver.
