The mastermind behind the terror module in Haryana's Faridabad which the police and security agencies have smashed has been identified as Imam Irfan Ahmad. He is a resident of Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian.
Ahmad is among seven suspects arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police following the recovery of weapons and bomb-making chemicals in Faridabad, and the blast near the Red Fort in Delhi on Monday that killed nine.
Ahmad is instrumental in radicalizing medical students, sources said, adding he worked on them patiently and pushed them toward an extremist ideology.
