Delhi: Security agencies have arrested four people, uncovering a major terrorist plot. They were allegedly planning to target religious sites and important police stations in the capital. Following this action, security agencies have intensified their investigation into the entire network.
The Delhi Police Special Cell received intelligence that an organized gang was in contact with a network linked to Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, and was carrying out arms and drug smuggling activities in India. Based on this information, police launched raids in several states.
During the investigation, it was revealed that this network was being operated from Pakistan by a man named Shashad Bhati, who was allegedly involved in arms and drug smuggling. Following this input, security agencies launched a joint operation in Punjab and Delhi.
In a raid in Amritsar, Punjab, a young man named Supdeep Singh (23) was arrested. Investigating agencies say he was in contact with the ISI-linked network and his activities had been under surveillance for a long time. During his arrest, an automatic rifle, live ammunition, and a mobile phone were recovered from him.
According to the police, preliminary investigations also indicated that Supdeep Singh had contacts with drone operators based in Pakistan. The possibility of arms and other material being supplied through these contacts is also being investigated.
Following this investigation, his associates were tracked down and three more individuals connected to the network were arrested. These include Gurjant Singh, Sajan Singh, and Gaganpreet. Their interrogation is expected to yield significant information.
Modern weapons, a large quantity of ammunition, and mobile phones were also recovered from the arrested accused. Police believe these devices were intended to be used to carry out criminal activities and conspiracies.
The Delhi Police Special Cell stated that this network was not limited to arms smuggling but also planned to target sensitive locations within the country, including religious sites and important police installations that were suspected of being vulnerable to attack.
Security agencies are now trying to determine the scope of this network and who else may be involved. They are also investigating where and through what means these individuals were obtaining weapons and resources.
According to police officials, this arrest is likely to expose a major network that was operating from across the border and attempting to spread instability within the country. Given the seriousness of the case, the investigation is being carried out in coordination with national security agencies.
At present, intensive interrogation of all the arrested accused is underway, and forensic examination of their mobile phones and electronic devices is being conducted. Police say that further revelations in this case may emerge in the coming days.
