Alarming : Today, an alarming trend of white-collar terrorism is emerging in the country. Highly-educated people are working against society and the country – Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister
“The perpetrators of the (Delhi) bomb blast were doctors — those who write ‘Rx’ on prescriptions, yet have RDX in their hands. This highlights the need for knowledge to be accompanied by values and character,” the defence minister said.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said that an alarming trend of white-collar terrorism is emerging in the country, wherein highly-educated people are engaging in anti-social and anti-national activities.
Singh pointed at the November 10 car bomb blast near the Red Fort in Delhi, where the perpetrators were found to be doctors.
“Today, an alarming trend of white-collar terrorism is emerging in the country. Highly-educated people are working against society and the country,” Singh said at the 104th foundation day event of Bhupal Nobles’ University in Udaipur.
“The perpetrators of the (Delhi) bomb blast were doctors — those who write ‘Rx’ on prescriptions, yet have RDX in their hands. This highlights the need for knowledge to be accompanied by values and character,” the defence minister said.
The purpose of education is not only professional success but also the development of morality, ethics and human character, he said.
The explosives-laden i20 car that detonated outside the Red Fort on November 10, killing 15 people, was driven by Dr Umar-un-Nabi.
The probe unravelled a ‘white-collar’ terror module, leading to the arrests of three doctors — Muzammil Ganai, Adeel Rather and Shaheena Saeed — among others.
