Agencies seek data on foreign educated doctors in Red Fort blast probe

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Delhi Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) have written to hospitals and clinics across the National Capital Region seeking information on doctors who obtained their medical degrees from Pakistan, Bangladesh, the UAE and China, according to a document reviewed by HT, and people familiar with the matter.

Agencies say the outreach is preventive as they revisit travel, communication and money trails of individuals tied to the module. (PTI)

The move comes as the agencies continue to investigate the Pulwama-Faridabad terror module responsible for the suicide bombing terror attack near the Red Fort on November 10 in which at least 12 people died. Most of the members of the module are doctors. Police said some of the doctors being probed are suspected to have secured their MBBS, MS, and MD degrees from China and Bangladesh.
