Event Summary

India — Delhi Police's Special Cell has successfully foiled a major terror plot orchestrated by Pakistan-based gangster and Pakistan — Inter-Services Intelligence proxy Shehzad Bhatti. Two operatives, Rajveer and Vivek Banjara, both from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, were arrested. The module planned grenade attacks and targeted killings in the Delhi-NCR region and Punjab, with specific targets including a historic temple in Delhi, a popular dhaba on the Delhi-Sonipat highway, a military camp in Hisar, and police stations in Uttar Pradesh. Rajveer was recruited via social media by 'Rana Bhai', an associate of Shehzad Bhatti, and later brought Vivek Banjara into the network. The operatives received weapons and funds, attempting an attack on a club in Zirakpur, Punjab, which failed due to a weapon malfunction. India — Delhi Police recovered a pistol, live cartridges, and incriminating mobile phone data. This operation also revealed links to a broader Pakistan — Inter-Services Intelligence-backed network, including the Khalistani terror outfit Babbar Khalsa, which was involved in an interstate espionage and arms module.
