New Delhi: Dr Adil Ahmad was an established doctor earning a package of Rs 60 lakh a year and was known as a topper since his school days. But who knew that these achievements would appear trivial after his name became linked to a terror case? Yes, you heard it right, Dr Adil Ahmad was allegedly one of the key orchestrators of the deadly blast that took place near the Lal Qila Metro Station on November 10, which charred parts of the Indian capital and claimed at least 15 lives.
Dr Adil, who had an impressive educational and professional background and was once worthy of praise, was allegedly involved in a white-collar terror module.
Adil was a bright student in his school days, a topper who scored 99 out of 100 in Math and 98 out of 100 in Science in his secondary examinations. Later, he completed a top-tier MBBS and an MD in Medicine. In 2022, he was appointed as a senior resident doctor at the Government Medical College in Anantnag before moving to Saharanpur.
Recognizing his abilities, the administration of the renowned Medicare Hospital offered him a position at five times his previous salary. Manoj Mishra, who had employed Dr Adil at the hospital, said he is now shocked and disturbed by Adil’s true identity.
Before joining V. Bros Hospital, according to its Vice President, Dr Mamta, Adil was punctual and maintained excellent behavior with both patients and staff. However, he rarely interacted with anyone outside his professional duties. When patients were not around, Adil preferred to stay aloof, watching videos in Urdu and Kashmiri on his tablet. He would immediately turn them off when others approached.
In a telephonic interview with TV9, Dr Mamta said Adil had applied for the job online. He was extremely frugal by nature—despite earning over Rs 4 lakh per month, he wore jeans worth only Rs 250, commuted in a shared autorickshaw, and claimed to donate his entire salary. After just three and a half months, he left Famous Hospital without prior notice, citing a higher-paying opportunity.
It was a typical Monday, and the lanes around Netaji Subhash Marg near Delhi’s Red Fort were crowded as usual. At around 6:52 pm, a Hyundai i20 exploded. Within seconds, the busy street plunged into chaos. Several vehicles caught fire and were damaged in the blast. The area was immediately cordoned off following the explosion.
The Delhi Fire Services reported receiving a call about the incident near Lal Qila Metro Station, Gate No. 1, at around 7 pm.
