In a massive counter-terrorism operation that has sent shockwaves across the nation, security forces have recovered approximately 300 kilograms of RDX explosive from a private hospital on the outskirts of Delhi. The dramatic recovery comes after intensive investigations by Jammu and Kashmir Police in collaboration with Delhi Police's Special Cell.
Major Terror Plot Uncovered
The operation unfolded when JK Police, acting on intelligence gathered from terror suspects arrested in Jammu and Kashmir, traced the explosive consignment to a hospital in the national capital region. The RDX was cleverly concealed within the hospital premises, taking advantage of the location's relative anonymity and constant movement of people.
According to official statements, the investigation began with the arrest of Hakam Khan and Junaid Ahmad in Jammu and Kashmir. During interrogation, these suspects revealed crucial information about a Pakistan-linked terror module operating across multiple states. The module had established sophisticated networks for transporting and storing explosive materials.
International Terror Connections Revealed
Police investigations have uncovered disturbing international connections to this terror plot. The entire operation was allegedly masterminded and controlled by handlers based in Pakistan. These handlers used encrypted communication channels to coordinate with their Indian associates and direct the storage and planned use of the explosives.
The recovery of such a massive quantity of RDX - enough to cause catastrophic damage - indicates the scale of the planned terrorist attacks. Security agencies believe the explosives were being stored for major strikes during the ongoing festival season, when public gatherings are common and security forces are stretched thin.
Multi-State Investigation Intensifies
The case has now expanded into a multi-state investigation with security agencies across several northern states joining the probe. Investigators are working to uncover the complete network of individuals involved in transporting and safeguarding the explosives.
The choice of a hospital as a storage location demonstrates the evolving tactics of terror groups. Such locations typically attract less suspicion from security forces while providing easy access and multiple exit routes. This modus operandi has raised concerns about the need for enhanced security protocols at healthcare facilities and other public institutions.
Security experts have described this operation as one of the most significant counter-terrorism successes in recent years. The timely recovery of the explosives has potentially averted multiple tragedies and saved countless lives. The investigation continues as authorities work to identify and apprehend all individuals connected to this dangerous plot.
