Two youths, Md Adnan Khan (19) and Adnan Khan (20), were arrested in Delhi for allegedly plotting a terror attack during Diwali, reportedly under the direction of an ISIS handler in Syria. The duo, described as “highly radicalised,” had shifted from online propaganda to actionable plans, coordinating through social media to recruit others. Their radicalisation deepened through extremist content following previous legal encounters. The swift police intervention likely averted a significant tragedy in a crowded area, underscoring the persistent threat of radicalisation among youth and the importance of vigilance in preventing potential attacks during major public gatherings. This incident highlights the need for continued monitoring of online extremist activities and community engagement to deter youth from radical paths.
