Delhi Police has arrested eight people in a 17-day operation, busting a terror module backed by Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) with links to the Mumbai underworld and fugitive gangster-turned-terrorist Shehzad Bhatti.
Police found evidence pointing to a conspiracy to carry out grenade attacks and shootings targeting popular installations, security establishments, and police personnel in multiple cities, particularly Delhi and Mumbai.
Recovered items include four hand grenades, two Glock pistols with 24 cartridges, two stolen two-wheelers, and a mobile phone containing incriminating chats with handlers based in Pakistan and Dubai.
The grenades were made in a Pakistani ordnance factory, while the pistols and cartridges were made in Pakistan and 'drone-dropped'.
Among the arrested men is a 66-year-old Nepali citizen, Lama Ang Kami, a close aide of Pakistan-based Mumbai underworld operative Munna Jhingada.
Senior police officers said the special cell's New Delhi Range (NDR) team received tip-offs that handlers of 'Bhatti's ISI network' in Pakistan and Dubai were planning terror attacks in Delhi, Mumbai, Punjab, and Chandigarh.
