Delhi Police Foil Terror Plot Linked to Pakistan, Arrest Five Suspects

The Delhi Police Special Cell has successfully dismantled a terror module suspected of having links to Pakistan, arresting five operatives after conducting raids across various states, an official announced Thursday.

According to Additional Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Pramod Kushwah, the suspects were radicalized via social media by a handler based in Pakistan and were allegedly planning to acquire land and declare it a 'Khilafat zone' to wage 'jihad' in India.

The operation uncovered significant evidence, including weapon components and explosive devices, as investigators assess the group's connections, funding sources, and potential targets, thereby thwarting a major terror attack in the country.
