The doctors, hailing from Pulwama in south Kashmir, were working at Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana.
A senior government official said Dr. Ganaie and his brother’s visit to Turkiye a few years ago was also under investigation. Officials suspect that during the visit, the accused doctor met one of his handlers from the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), a Pakistan-based terror outfit.
