Delhi blast probe: India uncovers dual terror corridors from Bangladesh and Pakistan

India is confronting a grave national security threat with the revelation of two intertwined terror corridors following the Delhi Red Fort blast. One corridor originates from Pakistan, extending through Bangladesh, while the other exploits professional networks, notably involving foreign-trained doctors.

Concerns escalated after Sheikh Hasina’s son, Sajeeb Wazed, warned of Jamaat-e-Islami and Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives operating freely in Bangladesh and the release of thousands of terror convicts. Indian agencies, including the NIA, have confirmed these fears, making arrests related to the Red Fort blast and investigating funding trails linked to terror modules.

A significant policy shift by the new Bangladesh government, which removed security checks on Pakistani nationals and shipments, is believed to have facilitated this infiltration.

The ‘doctor degree’ route, established years ago for Kashmiri students in Pakistan and later shifting to Bangladesh, has emerged as a discreet channel. Educated professionals, including MBBS doctors, allegedly function as white-collar enablers, providing logistical, financial, and communication support to terror networks.

This has prompted a nationwide audit of all doctors trained in Pakistan and Bangladesh over the last two decades, scrutinising funding and foreign links to address potential national security vulnerabilities.
