Dr Shaheen Shahid, a Lucknow-based woman doctor, who was arrested in connection with the massive explosives haul in Faridabad, was responsible for establishing the women's wing and recruitment for Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), NDTV reported quoting Delhi police sources.

The doctor, was handed over the command of JeM's women's wing, Jamaat ul-Mominaat, which is headed by JeM founder Masood Azhar's sister, Sadia Azhar, in Pakistan. Sadia Azhar's husband, Yusuf Azhar, was a mastermind in the Kandahar hijacking and was reportedly killed during Operation Sindoor on May 7.

Investigators claim that Shahid maintained close contact with several Pakistan-based terror outfits including Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH). Initial findings suggest that the module was planning to conduct terror activities across multiple Indian states.

So far, seven individuals have been arrested in connection with the case, and authorities have seized over 2,900 kilograms of IED-making material. Dr. Shahid was reportedly linked to Al-Falah University in Faridabad, where she was associated with an academic or healthcare-related project. Investigators are now probing whether the university or its resources were used for terror funding or recruitment.

Shaheen Shahid is a resident of Lucknow's Lal Bagh, according to officials. She was arrested after JeM's terror module in Faridabad was busted, and an assault rifle was recovered from her car. She is reportedly part of Al-Falah University and known to be closely associated with Kashmiri doctor Muzammil Ganaie, alias Musaib, who was arrested after 2,900 kg of explosives and inflammable material were recovered from his two rented rooms in Faridabad.

A native of Koil in J-K's Pulwama, Muzammil was a doctor working at Al Falah University at Dhauj, around 45 km from Delhi. Muzammil was arrested after the J-K Police named him as a wanted person in a case involving putting up posters supporting the Jaish-e-Mohammed in Srinagar.
