JeM operatives plotted 200 bomb blasts in North India, reveals probe.
The police investigation into the November 10 blast near Delhi’s Red Fort has uncovered a major terror plot linked to Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). Authorities revealed that a JeM operative named Hanzulla, believed to be connected to handlers in Kashmir and Afghanistan, instructed a Faridabad-based module on bomb-making techniques, including using highly potent explosives by mixing Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) with ammonium nitrate. The module was in the process of preparing 200 bombs intended for simultaneous detonations across Delhi, Gurugram, Faridabad, and other parts of North India. This large-scale coordinated attack was designed to cause unprecedented destruction and challenge India’s security apparatus. The plot was reportedly facilitated by the ISI, which handpicked operatives to train the accused. The timely intervention by security agencies prevented what could have been a catastrophic series of explosions. The investigation also revealed the use of secure messaging and code language, underscoring the sophistication of the terror network behind these planned attacks. This incident highlights ongoing cross-border terrorism threats India faces from Pakistan-based groups.
