Jaish ‘Doctor Terror Module’ Mastermind Dr. Muzammil Traveled to Turkeyto Meet Pakistani Handlers
New Delhi, Nov 13:Indian media has claimed that Fresh intelligence inputs have revealed that Dr.Muzammil, the alleged mastermind behind the Jaish-e-Mohammed ‘DoctorTerror Module’, had traveled to Turkey earlier this year to holdmeetings with Pakistani handlers linked to cross-border terrorism. Thedevelopment has raised serious questions about Turkey’s growing role as apotential hub for terror coordination and safe meetings, claims Indianmedia.
According to sources in Indian intelligence agencies, Dr. Muzammil, a keyJaish operative involved in recruitment and financing operations, usedTurkey as a neutral ground to plan and coordinate terror-related activitieswith Pakistani counterparts. His movements and digital communicationreportedly indicated logistical planning for sleeper cells in India.
Indian media claimed, This isn’t the first time Turkey’s name has surfacedin such contexts. Over the past few years, multiple reports havepointed to radicalnetworks using Turkish soil as a meeting or transit point — benefitingfrom relaxed visa policies, sympathetic local networks, and strategicgeography linking Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Indian media suggest that Turkey’s diplomatic distance from India and closeengagement with Pakistan provide a convenient backdrop for extremistoperatives to operate under the radar. Turkish NGOs and online groups havealso been accused in past intelligence reports of promoting radicalideologies targeting India.India’s Concerns Growing
Indian security agencies view these developments as part of a widerpattern of cooperation between Pakistan-based terror outfits andsympathetic networks abroad, particularly in Turkey and Afghanistan.An official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said:
