A total of eight individuals, reportedly associated with Pakistan’s ISI and Bangladeshi terror organizations, have been apprehended for allegedly scheming a terrorist plot against India. These individuals, who lacked proper documentation, were engaged in promoting Pakistan-based extremist groups on social media while residing in India illegally. The arrests took place in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal following intelligence alerts regarding their online activities and suspected links with extremist elements across the border.
The detained suspects were allegedly involved in various suspicious activities, including surveying cities and displaying ‘Free Kashmir’ posters in New Delhi. Out of the eight accused, four traveled to Delhi to exhibit incriminating posters during an event and then returned to Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Subsequently, a Delhi Police team, in collaboration with local authorities, conducted raids in Tirupur, leading to the arrest of six individuals.
During the raids, officials confiscated multiple mobile phones and SIM cards believed to have been used for sharing content supporting banned terrorist groups and communicating with potential handlers. The seized devices have been forwarded for forensic analysis to trace communication records and potential connections to broader networks. Investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of their activities and any potential organizational affiliations.
Security agencies have heightened surveillance and verification efforts in the region to monitor and prevent unlawful activities. Reports suggest that Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terrorist group from Pakistan, may be planning attacks in various locations across India, including near the Red Fort and a temple in Chandni Chowk, using improvised explosive devices. Authorities are actively investigating these reports to ensure public safety.
