The accused, residents of Delhi, Mumbai, Punjab, and some foreign nationals, were found in possession of a large quantity of weapons and ammunition. T
heir mission was to target vital installations and security personnel, with nuclear facilities, airports, railway stations, and power plants specifically on their list.
Authorities had been monitoring this terror module for some time and are now investigating the cross-border connections, funding sources, and the involvement of overseas handlers coordinating the group's activities. This module is believed to be linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, an al-Qaeda-affiliated terror group, and was disrupted just before a high-profile vehicle-borne IED blast near Delhi's Red Fort last year.
Delhi has been on high alert following intelligence reports warning of possible terror attacks using suicide bombings, vehicle-borne explosives, shootings, and coordinated strikes targeting prominent offices and crowded areas in the city. Police and paramilitary forces have been instructed to maintain heightened vigilance and close coordination.
Among the arrested are individuals with connections to Al-Falah University near Delhi, including Kashmiri residents who were part of this "white-collar" terror network. The Delhi Police is set to hold a press conference to share further details on this significant security development.
