Major Breakthrough in Delhi Blast Investigation
In a significant development in the Delhi blast case, Jammu and Kashmir police have detained a Haryana-based preacher in connection with what officials are calling a 'white-collar' terror module. The arrest marks a crucial step forward in the investigation into the recent explosion that shook the national capital.
Key Suspect and Explosive Haul
The detained individual has been identified as Maulvi Ishtiyaq, who was residing in a rented accommodation within the Al Falah university complex in Faridabad. According to official sources, this location served as a storage facility for massive quantities of explosive materials.
Police conducted a raid at Ishtiyaq's residence and made a startling discovery - more than 2,500 kg of ammonium nitrate, potassium chlorate and sulphur. These chemicals are known for their use in creating powerful explosives and have been linked to several terror incidents across the country in the past.
Investigation and Transfer to Srinagar
Following his detention in Haryana, Maulvi Ishtiyaq has been transported to Srinagar for further interrogation by security agencies. The investigation aims to uncover the complete network behind this terror module and determine potential links to other extremist groups.
Security officials described this as a 'white-collar' terror operation, indicating the involvement of educated individuals who might be using their professional backgrounds to facilitate terrorist activities while maintaining a facade of normalcy.
The recovery of such a massive quantity of explosive materials has raised serious concerns about the scale of the planned attack that was potentially being orchestrated. Authorities are now working to identify all individuals connected to this module and prevent any future security threats.
Ongoing Security Measures
Security agencies across Delhi and neighboring states have heightened vigilance following this discovery. The case continues to develop as investigators pursue additional leads and examine the digital footprint of the accused to map out the entire network.
This breakthrough comes as part of coordinated efforts between multiple security agencies working to dismantle terror networks operating in the region. The investigation remains active with more details expected to emerge in the coming days.
