Hidden Terror Arsenal suitcase Haul Shocks Faridabad Police and Public

In a chilling development in Faridabad, authorities uncovered a startling cache of weapons and explosives tied to a terror operation. During a joint operation between the Haryana Police and the Jammu & Kashmir Police, 360 kg of suspected ammonium-nitrate explosives, an assault rifle with three magazines, 83 live cartridges, a pistol with eight live rounds, two extra magazines and two empty cartridges were found.

What makes the case even more disturbing is where some of this haul was discovered. A car belonging to a woman doctor employed at Al‑Falah University in Faridabad was found to contain the rifle and further bomb-making components. Investigators say the doctor is now under questioning in Jammu & Kashmir; officials are also exploring whether the vehicle was borrowed without her awareness.

The rented apartment where the bulk of the materials were stored had been taken on about a fortnight ago near the university in the Dhouj area. Inside, teams found 12 suitcases, 20 timers, batteries, remotes, a walkie-talkie, a bucket filled with the suspect explosive, and heavy-metal components.

According to the police commissioner, this operation dismantled a “major terror module” apparently linked to the Jaish‑e‑Mohammed (JeM), with handlers across the border coordinating attacks in North India. While key suspects have been arrested including another doctor from Pulwama the investigation is ongoing, and more operatives are likely to be taken into custody soon.

This incident underlines the evolving nature of terrorist networks, which are now reportedly operating with borrowed vehicles, hideouts in rented small units, and the use of ordinary citizens’ assets as cover. The role of the doctor is still unclear; whether it was deliberate complicity, coercion or unsuspecting lending of her car is part of the probe. For Haryana, this means heightened vigilance and review of rented properties, vehicles, and links to disguised terror logistics.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities emphasise that public awareness and cooperation will be key. If any citizen notices unusual suitcases, asymmetric timings, or suspicious storage units, timely reporting can help thwart operations like the one unearthed here.
