Overview
- Security in central Delhi, which was tightened Saturday, focused on the BJP headquarters on Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg and nearby government offices.
- Intelligence warnings pointed to possible suicide attacks, vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, shootings, or coordinated strikes against crowded sites.
- Anti-sabotage checks are underway across government buildings, political offices, markets, and transport hubs with bomb squads, sniffer dogs, quick reaction teams, and the Delhi Fire Service on alert.
- The inputs came after the Special Cell arrested nine suspects linked to handler Shahzad Bhatti, with a senior officer saying the group was tasked with random firing at security personnel in north India and the Delhi-NCR.
- Officials have not shared full details and describe the measures as precautionary, as senior officers direct strict checks and coordination with intelligence and paramilitary units across districts.
