Overview
- The Delhi Police Special Cell on Monday arrested six people in coordinated raids that broke up two small operational modules allegedly tied to Pakistan-based gangster-turned-terrorist Shahzad Bhatti.
- Officers recovered three petrol bombs, three pistols with live cartridges, two vehicles and multiple mobile phones that contain chats, photos and videos purportedly linking suspects to handlers in Pakistan.
- Police say one module was tasked to carry out petrol-bomb attacks in Delhi while the other handled receipt and local trafficking of firearms reportedly smuggled across the border by drone.
- Investigators have named Pakistan-based handlers in their case files and are conducting forensic analysis of devices and financial records to identify wider networks and possible buyers or co-conspirators.
- In a parallel action the IFSO wing of Special Cell arrested two people running an online forged‑ID service that sold fake government documents, highlighting overlap between violent plots and cyber-enabled crime.
