Delhi Red Fort Blast: Doctor Shaheen Shahid, who was part of Jaish’s secret network, had a long connection with GSVM Medical College in Kanpur. She lived and worked there for years. After her arrest, agencies are checking every aspect of her life.
From 2006 to 2013, she worked as a lecturer in Pharmacology. Her job was approved by the Public Service Commission in August 2006. She left for six months in 2009–10 to work at Kannauj Medical College, then returned to GSVM. But in 2013, she left the department without notice. In 2021, the government dismissed her from the job.
Early Education In Lucknow
According to GSVM records, Dr Shaheen is originally from Lucknow. She studied at Lalbagh Girls' Inter College. She completed MBBS in 2003 from Prayagraj Medical College and MD in 2005. For about eight years as a Pharmacology lecturer, she stayed in the news for controversies.
Divorced From Husband
Dr Shaheen lived in Room 29, L Block at the medical college. After her dismissal in 2021, she got divorced in 2015 from eye doctor Dr Zafar. Even after staying long at the college, she had no close links with professors from her department or other departments.
Mostly Absent From Work
People say she was absent most of the time from her job — that’s why the government removed her. From the college principal to other professors, no one was in touch with her. The college staff and neighbours refuse to talk about her.
Father In Lucknow Shocked
Dr Shaheen was arrested in Faridabad. Police reached her home in Lalbagh, Lucknow, and her old house in Daliganj. Her father cannot believe it. He keeps saying, “My daughter is a doctor. She spent her life serving people. I don’t think she can be part of any wrong work.”
What Is Delhi Red Fort Blast
On Monday morning, a huge amount of explosives was found in Faridabad, near Delhi. That evening, a blast near Red Fort Metro Station killed 9 people and left 20 seriously injured. As the probe sped up, Lucknow doctor Shaheen was arrested. An AK-47 was recovered from her car. Reports say her car was used to supply all weapons and explosives for the blast.
