Delhi blast case: Medical body cancels registrations of four terror accused doctors, cant practice in India
This action was taken after the Jammu & Kashmir Police and the medical councils of J&K and Uttar Pradesh shared evidence showing that the doctors were involved in a terror-related case.
PTC News Desk: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has cancelled the medical licences of four doctors who were involved in the Jaish-e-Mohammed terror module linked to the November 10 Delhi blast. The NMC has removed their names from the Indian Medical Register and National Medical Register, which means these doctors — Muzaffar Ahmad, Adeel Ahmad Rather, Muzamil Shakeel, and Shaheen Saeed — are no longer allowed to work as doctors anywhere in India.
This action was taken after the Jammu & Kashmir Police and the medical councils of J&K and Uttar Pradesh shared evidence showing that the doctors were involved in a terror-related case.
The NMC said their behaviour goes against medical ethics and the trust expected from doctors. Earlier, the J&K Medical Council had already cancelled the registrations of the first three doctors, while the UP Medical Council reported the involvement of Shaheen Saeed. The NMC’s decision now makes the cancellation valid across the whole country.
All state medical councils have been told to update their records and ensure none of the four continue to practice.
This decision comes shortly after the J&K Police exposed a large terror network involving medical professionals. The module had stored nearly 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate, guns, ammunition, and bomb-making parts in flats in Srinagar and Faridabad.
