NEW DELHI: In a major counter-terrorism breakthrough, the Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested nine suspected terrorists, effectively thwarting a series of coordinated strikes planned across the national capital. Authorities confirmed that the captured operatives were preparing to target high-security zones and law enforcement personnel. Investigations reveal that the network operated under the direct influence of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in tandem with the Mumbai underworld. Police recovered a substantial cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives during the operation. According to senior officials, the primary objective of the module was to execute sabotage and launch targeted attacks on vital installations across the country. The high-profile arrests come on the heels of heightened security protocols implemented under 'Operation Sindoor,' which had already put intelligence agencies and local police on high alert. The suspects are currently in police custody, and a comprehensive interrogation is underway to map out the full extent of the network and identify any remaining sleeper cells.
