National Medical Commission Cancels Licenses of Doctors Involved in Red Fort Blast

Overview of License Cancellation

New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has taken decisive action against four doctors whose involvement in the Red Fort Blast case has been reported. The NMC has officially revoked their medical licenses, as outlined in a recent notification. The names of these doctors have been removed from the National Medical Register following charges filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in connection with the Delhi blast.

Details of the NMC Notification

According to the NMC’s notice, the following doctors are affected: Dr. Muzaffar Ahmad, Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, and Dr. Shaheen Saeed. They are prohibited from practicing medicine or holding any medical positions until further notice from the commission. The notification states, “In view of the FIR registered under relevant Sections of UAPA, the National Medical Commission has removed names of Dr. Muzaffar Ahmad, Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, and Dr. Shaheen Saeed from IMR/NMR, vide orders dated 14.11.2025.”

Charges and Legal Proceedings

The NMC’s public notice also elaborates on the charges against the doctors as specified in the FIRs. An FIR (No. 162/2025) was filed at P/S Nowgam, Srinagar, under various sections of the UAPA and other laws. The notice indicates that Dr. Muzaffar Ahmad, Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather, and Dr. Muzamil Shakeel were found to be involved based on evidence collected by investigating agencies.

The NMC emphasized that such conduct is inconsistent with the ethical standards expected of medical professionals, violating provisions of the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002. Consequently, the Jammu & Kashmir Medical Council ordered the cancellation of their registrations, effective immediately.

Implications for Dr. Shaheen Saeed

Regarding Dr. Shaheen Saeed, who is registered with the Uttar Pradesh Medical Council, the NMC stated that evidence also linked him to the case. The notice reinforces that his removal from the IMR/NMR is effective immediately due to the same ethical concerns.

Background on the Investigation

Medic Helpline previously reported that the Jammu and Kashmir Police, in conjunction with intelligence agencies, detained three doctors for questioning. This was part of an investigation into a “white-collar” inter-state terror module. Two of the detained doctors are friends of the individual who drove the Hyundai i20 that exploded near the Red Fort, resulting in casualties that have now risen to 13.

Another doctor from Pulwama, who allegedly had connections with the accused and was employed at a Delhi hospital, was also apprehended.

Statement from Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences

In light of recent events, Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research in Faridabad has clarified its position. The institution stated that it has no affiliation with the accused doctors, apart from their employment at the university.
