A doctor, two failed marriages, a newfound love and a slow descent into terrorism – that is the story of a 46-year-old woman, Shaheen Saeed, one of the key accused in the 10/11 blast near the iconic Red Fort in Delhi.
Shaheen Saeed and Muzammil Shakeel, the two doctors who lost their licenses following the Delhi blast, married in September 2023 and this union, according to sources, is what introduced Saeed to the world of terrorism and led her to take the path.Raised in Lucknow’s densely populated Daliganj area, Saeed was a bright student. She pursued a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, or MBBS, from Allahabad and then specialised in pharmacology.
Saeed’s father, Syed Ahmad Ansari, is a government employee and the family is considered a modest, educated, and socially respected one.
