New Delhi: The National Medical Council (NMC) has cancelled the registrations of four doctors linked to the car blast near Delhi's Red Fort Metro Station, barring them from practising until further notice.
The November 10 blast killed 12 people and injured several others, sending shockwaves across the nation.
The directive follows an FIR filed under UAPA against Dr Muzaffar Ahmad (Reg. No. 14680/2017), Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather (Reg. No. 15892/2019), Dr Muzamil Shakeel (Reg. No. 15130/2018), and Dr Shaheen Saeed (Reg. No. 45961/2022), effective immediately. While Muzamil, Adeel, and Shaheen are currently in the custody of the Jammu & Kashmir Police, Muzaffar is believed to have fled India around August. The four are reportedly connected to the Faridabad terror module.
An order issued by NMC Secretary (in-charge) Rajiv Sharma cited the FIR filed in Srinagar on October 19, noting that evidence collected by investigating agencies indicated the doctors’ involvement in the Red Fort blast case.
“Such association or conduct is prima facie inconsistent with the standards of ethical propriety, integrity and public trust expected of members of the medical profession and attracts the provisions of the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002,” the order read.
The Jammu & Kashmir Medical Council exercised its authority to cancel the registrations of the four doctors, instructing that their names be promptly removed from the Register of Medical Practitioners. The order clarified that the doctors “shall cease to be entitled to practise medicine or to hold any appointment as medical practitioners till further orders.”
Following notifications dated November 13, 2025, their names have been removed from the Indian Medical Register (IMR) and National Medical Register (NMR) with immediate effect.
