Delhi Blast: First Photo Emerges Of Medical Student Arif, Suspected Of Terror Links, In ATS Custody

The development comes three days after a powerful blast near Delhi’s Red Fort killed ten people and left several others injured.


The first photograph of Dr. Mohammad Arif, a medical student detained by the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in connection with the recent Delhi blast, has emerged. Arif, 32, a first-year DM (Cardiology) student at the State-run Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial (GSVM) Medical College in Kanpur, was taken into custody from an undisclosed location on Wednesday evening, officials said.

According to sources, Arif, a native of Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir, came under the ATS radar following disclosures made during the interrogation of former GSVM professor Dr. Shaheen Sayeed. Dr. Sayeed, who has been associated with Al Falah University, was arrested earlier as part of the ongoing probe into a “white-collar” terror module allegedly linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind.

Gyanendra Kumar, Chief Medical Staff at the LPS Institute of Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery in Kanpur, told reporters that Arif had been called in for questioning by the ATS on Wednesday. Kumar said Arif had been practising in the Cardiology department for about three months and that nothing suspicious had been noticed in his behaviour. He added that the institute administration had no knowledge of his activities outside the campus.

Kanhaiya Lal, the landlord of Arif’s residence in Ashok Nagar near Fatima School, told ANI that the doctor had shown no suspicious behaviour during his brief stay of less than a month. He added that Arif mostly kept to himself and rarely interacted with anyone.

Meanwhile, Dr. Abhishek, a flatmate of Dr. Arif, said on Thursday that Arif’s behaviour remained unchanged after the incident. He observed that the doctor’s body language appeared completely normal, showing no signs of anxiety or distress.


The development comes three days after a powerful blast near Delhi’s Red Fort killed ten people and left several others injured. Investigators suspect the explosion is linked to a terror network with alleged connections to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed. Police have identified the driver of the Hyundai i20 used in the blast as Dr. Umar un-Nabi, a Pulwama-based physician believed to be associated with the same module.

Yamuna’s Perennial Toxic Saga: A Critical Issue For Delhi

Yamuna's plight raises questions about accountability and the effectiveness of governmental commitments to environmental supervision As the festive season approaches, the Yamuna river remains a focal point in the national capital, marred by extreme pollution despite repeated electoral promises. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has continually vowed to clean this river. Yet, just weeks before the annual Chhath Puja, toxic foam covers its surface, highlighting the grim reality of the situation. Notably, soon after coming to power in 2015, Kejriwal had promised to clean the river and said, “We will revive Yamuna within five years.” Then again in 2021, Kejriwal reiterated the promise to rejuvenate the Yamuna and said that he will take a dip in the river in February 2025.
