Three weeks before the blast near Delhi's iconic Red Fort, posters supporting terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad appeared in several parts of Srinagar. Jammu and Kashmir police then started an investigation that would bring them to Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and the national capital. This investigation would also reveal a fundamental shift in terror recruitment, which Jammu and Kashmir police would describe as a "white collar terror ecosystem".
Three Kashmiri doctors, Adeel Ahmad Rather, Muzammil Shakeel and Umar Mohammed, are being investigated in connection with last evening's blast that claimed nine lives and left over 20 injured. The arrest of Rather and Shakeel in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur and Haryana's Faridabad, respectively, led to the recovery of a huge amount of material used in bomb-making.
