Dr Shaheen Shahid Planned Dubai Escape Amid Terror Probe, Says Police
Dr Shaheen Shahid, arrested in connection with the Delhi Red Fort car blast, is accused of plotting to flee to Dubai while her associates finalised a terror conspiracy under Jaish e Mohammed.
Dr Shaheen Shahid, a former medical lecturer and now a key accused in a terror conspiracy linked to Jaish‑e‑Mohammed (JeM), allegedly planned to flee to Dubai as her network finalized their extremist plot, according to investigators.
Radical Network Undercover
Investigators describe Dr Shaheen as a central figure in a “white‑collar” terror module. Once respected in academia, she is accused of setting up a women-led recruitment and operations wing of JeM in India under the name Jamaat‑ul‑Momineen.
Officials allege she was in continuous contact with JeM handlers in Pakistan and was mobilizing young sympathizers inside India, particularly among students.
Link to the Red Fort Blast
Security agencies investigating the car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort say Shaheen provided logistical support and communications to the module.
Her route from academia into the network reportedly began after personal setbacks — following her divorce, she connected with Dr Muzammil Ahmad Gai, another key operative linked to the Faridabad cell.
Escape Plan to Dubai
According to police, Shaheen had applied for a passport and completed verification visits, which coincided with a period when her aides were actively working on the terror plan. This has raised serious concerns about her possible intent to escape India and evade arrest, especially to a foreign country like the UAE.
Unfolding Investigation
Counterterrorism agencies are now mapping her digital footprint, travel history, and communications to trace the full extent of her role.
Questions remain about how a medical professional allegedly transitioned into a terror recruiter, and how many more operatives may be part of the network she helped build.
