The Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested five more accused of an 8-member multi-state terror module linked to Pakistan ISI handler Shahzad Bhatti.

Earlier, Delhi Police had arrested three members of this module during Operation Gang Bust 2.0. Police said that the accused were tasked with targeting police personnel in Delhi and neighbouring states, glorifying Pakistan-based handlers through posters and promoting the alleged ISI-sponsored outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Hindustan.

 

During the operation, police recovered five arms, posters linked to members of the Shahzad Bhatti network and other incriminating material, including videos threatening police personnel. Delhi Police said investigations revealed that the accused were in direct contact with members of the Shahzad Bhatti network through encrypted communication platforms.
