Hyderabad / New Delhi, November 2025: The ongoing investigation into the recent Delhi car blast near the Red Fort has taken a new direction after the name of a Hyderabad-based doctor, Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed, surfaced in connection with a larger terror conspiracy being probed by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
According to official sources and media reports, Dr Saiyed was detained in Gujarat for his alleged association with the Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISKP) and other extremist groups. During the operation, ATS officials reportedly recovered two Glock pistols, a Beretta handgun, more than 30 live cartridges, and nearly four kilograms of castor bean mash, a substance that can be used to produce the lethal toxin ricin.
Investigators claim that Dr Saiyed was involved in planning a bio-terror attack across multiple Indian cities. He allegedly ran a shawarma outlet in Hyderabad, which authorities suspect may have served as a front to fund terror-related activities. His online communications and digital devices are now being examined to trace his connection to ISKP handlers abroad.
Although Dr Saiyed’s direct involvement in the Delhi car blast has not been officially confirmed, his name has appeared in intelligence intercepts linked to a wider multi-state terror module. This network allegedly included several medical professionals across different states who were using their professional backgrounds and financial networks to support extremist operations.
The Delhi Police Special Cell and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) are now working closely with Gujarat ATS to identify financial trails, encrypted communications, and the procurement of explosive materials. Early intelligence inputs suggest that the Delhi explosion might have been part of a coordinated plan to carry out serial blasts in four major Indian cities.
Officials have stated that while preliminary evidence points to Dr Saiyed’s logistical or financial involvement, his operational role in the Delhi blast is yet to be established. The authorities have urged caution in drawing conclusions as investigations continue across multiple states, including Hyderabad, Lucknow, and parts of Gujarat.
Dr Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed is a qualified medical practitioner from Hyderabad who had been running small business ventures in recent years. He has been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and various sections of the Indian Penal Code related to conspiracy and possession of illegal weapons and materials.
The probe into the Delhi blast and its suspected ISKP module remains ongoing, with several arrests expected in the coming weeks as agencies analyze digital evidence and cross-border communication channels.
