The man behind module’s tech and logistics

To his classmates and professors at Al-Falah Medical College and Hospital in Dhauj, Faridabad, Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie was a quiet, soft-spoken resident doctor, known more for his diligence in clinical rotations than for signs of radicalisation.

Yet the 35-year-old from Koil village, Pulwama, is now a central figure in the multi-agency probe into the Delhi blast.

Muzammil was arrested on October 30, more than 10 days before the explosion, after the interrogation of his associate, Dr Adeel Rather, revealed his role in a network of radicalised medical professionals. Investigators accuse him of stockpiling over 2,900kg of ammonium nitrate and bomb-making materials in two rented rooms in Dhauj and Fatehpur Taga villages near Faridabad.
