The Delhi Police Special Cell has successfully dismantled an alleged terror module with links to the Dawood Ibrahim network and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), arresting nine individuals who were reportedly plotting attacks in the national capital. According to sources cited by ANI, the group had been cultivated over an extended period with the objective of carrying out terror strikes on critical installations, security personnel, and prominent religious sites in Delhi.
Arrests and Recovered Materials
The arrested suspects include individuals of Nepali origin. During the operation, law enforcement officials recovered a substantial cache of arms, hand grenades, and explosive materials, thereby averting a potential security threat. The seizure underscores the seriousness of the plot and the preparedness of the Delhi Police to neutralize such threats.
Investigations and Network Links
Initial investigations have revealed alleged connections between the accused and Pakistan-backed handlers, as well as operatives linked to the Mumbai underworld. Authorities are now delving deeper into the network's financing, recruitment strategies, and logistical support systems. This bust is seen as a significant blow to the terror infrastructure that aimed to destabilize the region.
The Delhi Police Special Cell continues to interrogate the suspects to uncover further details about the planned attacks and to identify any additional associates. The operation highlights the ongoing challenges in counter-terrorism efforts and the importance of intelligence-led policing.
