In a major legal development in Jammu and Kashmir, the State Investigation Agency (SIA) has filed a charge sheet in what authorities describe as a significant terrorist‑conspiracy case involving a covert network popularly referred to as the “Doctors Terror Module”. The charge sheet has been submitted against ten accused persons in connection with an FIR registered at Police Station Nowgam, Srinagar, and is tied to posters linked to the proscribed terrorist outfit Jaish‑e‑Mohammad (JeM) that surfaced in the region last year.
The case originates from an incident on 19 October 2025, when provocative and threatening posters in the name of Jaish‑e‑Mohammad were pasted in the Nowgam area of Srinagar. These posters were aimed at spreading fear among the public, disturbing public order, and challenging the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India, prompting registration of FIR No. 162/2025 at Nowgam Police Station under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Explosive Substances Act and the Arms Act.
Investigative agencies subsequently uncovered what they term a “white‑collar terror ecosystem” involving professionals, including doctors, students and other educated individuals, allegedly in contact with foreign handlers operating from across the border. This network, commonly referred to in open reports as the “Doctors Terror Module”, is said to have used professional and academic circles as a front while raising funds, radicalising youth, and coordinating logistics for terrorist activities.
The State Investigation Agency (SIA), Jammu and Kashmir, has now formally filed its charge sheet in the case, detailing the alleged involvement of ten accused in the conspiracy. The SIA‑drafted charge sheet is based on evidence collected during the probe into the Nowgam posters, the wider JeM‑linked module and its inter‑state links, including its suspected connection to the November 2025 Delhi blast that killed several people.
The filing of the charge sheet comes amid broader investigations across J&K, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, where counter‑terrorism agencies have dismantled inter‑state and transnational terror modules linked to Jaish‑e‑Mohammad and other banned outfits. Authorities say the October 2025 posters in Nowgam acted as a critical trigger that exposed an extensive, covert network of radicalised professionals, leading to multiple arrests, cancellations of medical registrations and the seizure of large quantities of explosives and weapons.
