The Delhi Special Cell, in coordination with Uttar Pradesh anti-terrorist squad, is questioning two Kashmiri doctors working at GSVM Medical University, Kanpur, and a private hospital in Hapur. Both doctors are being questioned in connection with the accused linked to the recently busted terror module, officials said.

Officials said he knew Dr Muzamil Shakeel Ganai and Dr Adeel Majeed Rather, two of the accused in the terror module case.
Another Special Cell team picked up a doctor, who hails from Badgam, from Hapur, where he works at a private hospital. He knew both Dr Ganai and Dr Rather, as well as Dr Umar Nabi, the Red Fort bomber, officials said.
