Delhi Police arrests five terrorists linked with a Pakistan-linked terror module and recovers parts used in IED construction.
As part of an ongoing terror probe, the Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested three more suspects connected to the module and discovered ties to Pakistan.
Five people are now in custody overall as a result of these additional arrests. As part of the investigation, the first two suspects were previously arrested.
Some of the components used to make IEDs have also been found by the police.
According to sources, the accused used several social media accounts—which are currently being checked—to communicate with handlers located in Pakistan.
According to investigators, the group’s key member, Ashraf Danish, was operating the module from India while maintaining contact with Pakistan-based individuals via encrypted and social media platforms. The probe has revealed that the suspects used these channels to radicalize youth in India and recruit them into their network.
As part of a large-scale counterterrorism operation, raids were carried out in four to five states, questioning over eight people, officials said. Five people, including two from Delhi and one each from Madhya Pradesh, Hyderabad, and Ranchi, have been detained thus far on suspicion of engaging in terrorism-related activities.
A cache of suspicious materials, live ammo, and a Danish-made firearm were discovered in the custody of one of the detained individuals. Hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfur powder, copper sheets, ball bearings, strip wires, electronic circuits, computers, cell phones, and cash were all found on him by the Delhi Police Special Cell. According to authorities, these goods were meant to be used in the production of explosives and weapons.
