Thereafter, these doctors will not be allowed to practice medicine or hold any appointment as medical practitioners until further orders of the Commission.
Eight people, including doctors, have been arrested while several have been detained in the investigation into the recovery of 2,900 kg of explosives on November 10 and the powerful car blast near the Red Fort that killed 13 people later in the day.
In a public notice on Friday, the National Medical Commission listed the allegations made in the FIR against the doctors and said, “Dr Muzaffar Ahmed, Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather and Dr Muzammil Shakeel, registered with the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Council, have been found involved in the case on the basis of evidence collected by the investigating agencies.” The commission said such association or conduct was prima facie “inconsistent with the standards of moral propriety, integrity and public trust” expected from members of the medical profession and attracted provisions under the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002.
The notice said that the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Council has ordered cancellation of the registration of Dr Ahmed, Dr Rather, Dr Shakeel and Dr Saeed and directed that their names be removed from the register of medical practitioners maintained by it with immediate effect.
“Consequent to such removal, the said practitioner will cease to be entitled to practice medicine or hold any appointment as a medical practitioner until further orders,” the NMC notice said.
“Now, in view of the notification dated November 13 regarding cancellation of registration of the above mentioned doctors issued by the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Council, their names are hereby struck off from the Indian Medical Register/National Medical Register with immediate effect,” the notice said.
On the morning of 10 November, police announced that 360 kg of ammonium nitrate was recovered from Dr. Muzamil’s rented accommodation at Al Falah University in Faridabad, where he was working. The doctor is a resident of Pulwama district of South Kashmir. Shortly afterwards, Jammu and Kashmir Police said that 2,900 kg of explosives were found in and around the university and a ‘white-collar’ terror module was busted. He has been arrested.
Police are searching for Dr. Muzaffar of Al Falah University. After interrogation of the arrested people, the Qazigund native came under suspicion. He left India in August and is believed to be in Afghanistan. The police have approached Interpol for a Red Corner Notice against him.
Dr. Shaheen, a female doctor from Lucknow, was aware of the conspiracy being hatched by three doctors. People with knowledge of the blast investigation said they were aware of logistics being planned for December 6, the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition.
Muzaffar’s brother Dr. Adeel Rather was arrested from Saharanpur on 7 November. An AK-56 rifle and other ammunition were seized from his locker at Anantnag hospital.
